About Amazon Advertising

Amazon Advertising is Amazon's ad business, selling display and sponsored-product ads both on Amazon's own sites and across the wider web.

Its amazon-adsystem.com domains typically load an ad creative or a conversion pixel that reports back when a visitor who saw an Amazon ad later takes an action, setting identifiers such as the ad-id cookie.

Amazon's advertising preferences let a user opt out of interest-based ads, and Amazon participates in the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out program.

Understanding this page

What the tracker categories mean
What "advertising," "analytics," "social," "consent" and the rest actually mean for a company or a cookie, and how CookieTosser decides which one applies.
First-party vs third-party cookies (and why "first-party" still tracks you)
What the distinction actually means technically, why browsers only block one of the two, and how CNAME cloaking, server-side tagging and cookies like _ga let sites keep tracking under their own domain.
How to block or limit trackers
Browser privacy settings, content blockers, Global Privacy Control and clearing cookies compared honestly — what each one actually stops, what it doesn't, and what it costs you in return.
