What is Tracking Cookie?

AdTech is a type of Tracking Cookie.

Tracking cookies, like regular cookies, are small files that get deposited onto your computer's hard drive as you browse the Internet. Unlike harmless cookies that normally let you use certain websites more easily, tracking cookies usually collect and report information about what websites you visit and what you do at those websites. If you fill out forms online with your real name and contact information, click on banners and then purchase an item, or fill out sweepstakes or contests forms, then it's possible that major online advertisers know your name and have associated it with your IP address and other information.
