They typically consist of combinations of letters and numbers and are stored on the terminal device being used, allowing the device to be identified. Cookies enable the website you visit to store information on your device and use that information during subsequent visits. Their primary functions are to remember the online visitor's preferences and to recognize the device during the connection. 

They are commonly used to “remember” you and your preferences for a single visit (via a “session cookie”) or multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They provide a consistent and efficient experience for visitors and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and log in. Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting (known as “first-party cookies”) or by third parties. For example, those that provide content on the website or offer advertising or analytics services (“third-party cookies”). Cookies do not contain personal data such as name, gender, or address relating to visitors.

  1. Our Internal Analytical Tool

To better understand how our services are used, we track specific user activities that occur on our products; including page views and clicks on links used when navigating a site through dashboards.

We call each of these processes an “event.” Analytics events are added to your WordPress.com account and are performed by a first-party system owned and maintained by Automattic. Generally, for each event we record the following data: IP address, WordPress.com user ID and username, WordPress.com linked site ID (for sites not hosted on WordPress.com), user agent, URL redirect, event timestamp, browser language, and country code. We use this information to improve our products, make our marketing more relevant to you, personalize your experience, and for other purposes described in our Privacy Policy.

You can opt out of our analytics program from your user settings. By doing so, when you log in to your WordPress.com account, you will not share information with our analytics tool about events or actions that occur after you opt out. Note that opting out does not disable the functionality of the actions we are tracking – for example, if you publish a post, we will still have some concern about that (don't worry!), but for an event or action after you opt out, we will no longer have any data in the analytics tool related to that action or event.

For SimpleNote users: We use our first-party analytics tool in Simplenote to help us better understand how Simplenote is used and improve the app for our users. You can opt out of your privacy settings in the app. By doing so, you will not share information with our analytics tool about events or actions that occur after you opt out. One more thing – for Simplenote users who log in to Simplenote using their WordPress.com credentials, if you want to disable our analytics tool in Simplenote, you also need to be logged out of the Simplenote app.
