Yahoo’s Cookie Jar: A Deliciously Detailed Look at How We Use Your Data!
When it comes to online experiences, Yahoo is the cookie monster of convenience! 🍪 But before you dive into our treasure trove of content, let’s chat about the popular little snacks called cookies—and no, we don’t mean the chocolate chip kind (though those are delightful too).
As a proud member of the Yahoo family of brands, we want you to know how we’re using cookies to serve up a delightful online experience just for you!
What Are Cookies, Anyway?
Cookies are small pieces of data that we sprinkle onto your device like confetti at a birthday party! They help our websites and applications remember who you are—and let’s face it, no one wants a party without a guest list, right?
When you use our sites and apps, we serve cookies to:
- Cook up Your Experience: Deliver our sites and applications like a hot slice of pizza fresh out of the oven!
- Authentication and Security: Ensure that you’re not a robot trying to crash the party. We take spammers and abuses as seriously as a dad joke gone wrong!
- User Measurement: Keep track of how much fun you’re having so we can keep the party going!
What Happens When You Click “Accept All”?
By clicking “Accept All,” you’re giving us and our partners, including the 238 chefs in the kitchen that are part of the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework, the green light to:
- Store Information: Just like saving the best slices of cake for later!
- Use Geolocation Data: This helps us customize advertisements and content tailored specifically for you. After all, who wouldn’t want ads for snow shovels in the winter?
- Conduct Research: You’re basically helping us learn how to make the online experience even sweeter, like turning cookies into cookie dough ice cream!
No Cookies? No Problem!
If you’re the type who thinks “no cookies” at a party means more for the rest of us, we respect that! Just click “Reject All,” and we’ll make sure not to use cookies or personal data for those extra sweet features. You can still enjoy all the fun—just less customized!
Got Cookies? Check Your Settings!
Want to take the reins and decide which types of data you’d like to share? Just click on “Manage Privacy Settings”! It’s kind of like revolutionizing your sandwich by choosing the toppings, except in the digital world! 🍔
And remember, you can change your mind at any time. Just follow the “Privacy and Cookie Settings” or “Privacy Hub” links on our sites and apps.

At Yahoo, we’re all about creating a web experience that’s as enjoyable as your favorite dad joke. After all, being part of the family means sharing—and that includes sharing cookies (figuratively speaking, of course). 🍪
