These small pieces of data, http cookies, are stored on our devices by websites, play a pivotal role in personalising our online experiences. From tailored product recommendations to persistent retargeting ads, cookies are adept at influencing consumer behaviour, perhaps more that we realised.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-a5070b37\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-a5070b37\"><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm;font-size: 12pt;font-family: Calibri, sans-serif\"><em>How are they used to influence us?<\/em><\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm;font-size: 12pt;font-family: Calibri, sans-serif\">Firstly, a significant impact of cookies lies in the realm of personalised recommendations. By tracking users&#8217; browsing history and preferences, websites can present products that align very closely with individual tastes. This tailored <a href=\"https:\/\/digital.hec.ca\/en\/blog\/how-audience-segmentation-can-help-you-stand-out\/\">segmentation<\/a> enhances the likelihood of users finding products that they are genuinely interested in.
