Cookies are hidden snippets of code you can find on many websites. You can distingu- ish between useful 1st party cookies and unwanted 3rd party cookies. These 3rd par- ty trackers collect personal information based on your browsing behaviour. Sexuality, emotional status, finances, medical conditions, credit score – we are often unaware of the extent of this tracking. Over time, data collection companies create a digital avatar that makes you identifiable anywhere on the internet.

Cookie.JAR is both a protective barrier and a storage location: it prevents third party tracking and stores useful first party cookies.

Mobile and thus always by your side, Cookie.JAR is connected to all your end devices and intercepts any kind of trackers before they land on your device.

As soon as you switch one of your connected devices on and it connects to the inter- net, Cookie.JAR works in the background.

Cookie.JAR recognises and categorises the different forms of cookies and reacts ac- cordingly. 3rd partie cookies are blocked and deleted before they reach your device. 1st partie cookies can be accepted, blocked, modified or allowed.

In addition, the Share option allows you to exchange your settings for useful 1st par- tie cookies with family and friends

Diligently collecting all 3rd party trackers you come across, Cookie.JAR‘s LED display fills up throughout the day. When it reaches its storage limit, you throw it into the Coo- kie.run. This empties the storage. The mobile Cookie.JAR recharges and is ready to go again.
