A cookie is a small piece of data that Gist sends from your website, stored in a web browser and downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit that website. The cookie is then sent back to Gist on each subsequent visit, which is essential for you to be able to identify and track the user's activity automatically.
Gist's tracking code sets two "first-party" cookies when a visitor lands on your website. We take the privacy of your data seriously and these cookies cannot be read by Gist on other sites, or by other sites using the Gist tracking code. All cookies are unique to your domain.
