Cookie restrictions are rules that control how websites use cookies. Cookies are small files that remember what users do online. In the past cookies tracked people across many websites without asking for permission. This helped advertisers follow users and show targeted ads. But people did not like being tracked secretly and many felt it invaded their privacy. New laws and browser changes were made to fix this issue.

Browsers like Safari and Firefox already block many tracking cookies. Google Chrome is also planning strong limits. These restrictions stop websites from collecting data without consent. This means businesses must focus on clear permission before using any cookie that is not essential for the site. Websites must also explain what each cookie does and why it is needed. This makes the internet safer and more open.
