This is the definition I found:
Quote:
A Tracking Cookie, also known as a Spyware Cookie, is any Cookie that is collectively shared among unrelated websites for the intention of tracking and sharing a user’s surfing habits. Each particular website will recognize and read the Tracking Cookie while also accumulating additional information for future sites.
Tracking Cookies are mainly used to collect a user’s tendencies such as pages observed, advertisements viewed or any other behavioral activity. This valuable marketing data can then be used by the website to display highly relevant advertisements to match each particular user’s preferences.
