The serving-sys cookie:
Serving-Sys is a tracking cookie that tracks your personal information and browsing habits as you surf the web. Information can be retrieved by the parent company. Serving-sys cookies store information about a PC user’s interaction with a specific website. Standard Cookies are not inherently dangerous, but they can be misused and exploited and may allow a distinct and apparently unrelated website to access the same 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 behavior for marketing purposes.
