Cookies, web beacons and third-party content let servers, often third parties, recognize your browser
Cookies are small text files your browser stores that can uniquely identify your device and let a web server recognize your browser over time. Web beacons are single-pixel images in websites or emails that make your browser connect to the server hosting the image, typically run by a third party, which can log device information and set and read its own cookies. Third-party content on GitHub's websites, such as embedded videos, plug-ins or ads, likewise connects your browser to the third party's server.
Supporting quotations
The text in a cookie contains a string of numbers and letters that may uniquely identify your device and can contain other information as well.
This allows the web server to recognize your browser over time, each time it connects to that web server.
When your browser opens a webpage or email that contains a web beacon, it automatically connects to the web server that hosts the image (typically operated by a third party).
This allows that web server to log information about your device and to set and read its own cookies.
In the same way, third-party content on our websites (such as embedded videos, plug-ins, or ads) results in your browser connecting to the third-party web server that hosts that content.
