What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small amounts of information in the form of text files sent by websites to computers, mobile phones, or other devices when you visit a website or use a mobile application. Although cookies do identify a user’s device, cookies do not personally identify users. Cookies allow companies to do various things, such as: tailoring content, personalizing website visits, and ensuring the security of any online experience. Cookies typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Additionally, mobile devices may use other tracking files which are similar to cookies (for example iOS devices use Apple’s ‘identifier for advertisers’ (IDFA) and Android devices use Google’s Android ID). In the context of tracking within Resold, the concept of a cookie will include a mobile device identifier for the purpose of this Cookie Policy. Cookies may come in different formats.

Third-party cookies are cookies that are loaded onto your browser by third-parties.
