Fraudsters use "cookie" type software to gather personal and confidential information from consumers' hard drives. Cookies are small files that are saved on a user's computer when they visit a website, and they can be used by advertisers or fraudsters to track user behavior or gather personal information such as login credentials, credit card numbers, or browsing history. This information can then be used for identity theft, phishing scams, or other fraudulent activities.
