A cookie is a small piece of data sent by a web server and stored on the user's computer. Every time you try to open a website page, the browser sends a piece of data to the web server as part of an https request. The fragment is necessary to identify the user, store personal settings, etc.

A page with settings will open in front of you. Select "Privacy".

Here, in the “History” subsection, select “Firefox will use your history storage settings.”

Enhanced Tracking Protection is a set of Firefox features that automatically protect your privacy while you browse.

If the site looks broken, try turning off Enhanced Tracking Protection. This will allow trackers to load only on that site. Improved Tracking Protection will continue to block trackers on other sites.

Follow the same steps to re-enable Enhanced Tracking Protection.

You may experience crashes on some sites if you choose Strict Improved tracking protection. This may happen because trackers are hidden in part of the content. For example, a website may include a video from another resource or a post from social network, which contain trackers. To block such trackers, Firefox must also block the content itself.

• Site login fields

• Payments
• Comments
• Video
