The Three Cookies Options:

Now after reaching the enable cookies in chrome page you will find three options are available to you. Each one have some definite meaning and purpose to serve. So let us try to understand what are they given for:

1. Allow Sites to save and read cookie data (recommended) 

If you enable this cookie option, it means that it will allow the website you visited to store the cookies ( your choices, preferences) on your computer for as long as the website needs to. 

2. Keep local data only until you quit your browser

Enabling this option will also function as normal cookie storage but the only difference here will be that your cookies will be stored till the time your browser is opened. once you close your browser the cookies will be gone.So if you logged in to a web site and you closed the website, you will have to again fill the sign in details as the cookies will be deleted after you close the browser.

3. Block Third party cookies

If you have enabled cookies option and along with that you are enabling this option then this means that any website you are directly visiting are allowed to store the cookies on your system but the Third-party Website ( it can be the server that displays ads on the website) is not allowed to store cookies to store your choices and preferences . Just to add a note that however this cannot stop the ads to appear on the page but it can decrease the amount of tracking done by the Third-party.

Now the question arises that which option/options should we keep enabled.?

For optimum benefits I suggest you to enable the 1st and the 3rd one.
