What is 1stBlaze? (Description):
This is an advertisement tracking cookie that may violate your privacy as it tracks your surfing history. Usually, cookies are used by websites to store preferences for that website. Tracking cookies, on the other hand, are shared between websites and can be used to spy on you as you go from one website to another. Tracking cookies are more dangerous than normal cookies because they can be used to create user profiles by connecting the activities over numerous websites.
Standard Cookies are not dangerous, but they can be misused and exploited and may allow a distinct and apparently unrelated website to access the private information. If more than one website can access a cookie that has been placed on the user’s PC, that cookie poses a security and privacy risk. Tracking cookies can allow vendors to analyze browsing behaviour for various marketing purposes.

What is a
Tracking Cookie?
Cookies are (usually) small data packets that store simple information about a user and communicate that information to a web server. In essence, this is a good thing. It means that certain websites can have their servers recognize your computer when you visit them. If you've ever had a website remember your login name, that's a cookie. If you've ever shopped using a shopping cart online, the cookie allows you to keep the shopping cart unchanged in the background while you continue to shop.
Since a cookie isn't a program, it cannot execute any harmful commands, and many people needlessly delete every Cookie they find. Deleting a Cookie doesn't hurt anything, but it does mean that when you revisit certain sites you won't be recognized. So what's the big deal then? Although most Cookies are harmless (or even helpful) some are designed to record your web activity, such as where you go online and how frequently. These Cookies are then accessed by snooping 3rd parties who can learn about you, where you go and when.
These so-called Tracking Cookies are generally considered malevolent since they can facilitate someone finding out sensitive information, such as where you bank or what sorts of stores you patron. Once these 3rd parties know this information, they can target you for advertising or scams.
