WordPress Login and Administrative Cookies
If authorized users log in to the WordPress blog, WordPress may set cookies to determine whether the browser accepts cookies, save login information, and save screen display preferences.
Login cookies generally last for a limited period unless the user selects “Remember Me.” If a logged-in user edits or publishes an article, WordPress may save an additional cookie that indicates the post ID of the article edited.

These administrative cookies are generally relevant only to authorized site administrators, editors, authors, or other approved users.
6. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on the blog may include embedded content, such as videos, images, social media posts, or articles.
Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly. These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that third-party website.
