+ <p>You should normally use <gui>Only from sites you visit</gui> because this
+ option allows you to log into your accounts on most websites while preventing
+ websites that you have not visited from leaving cookies.</p>
+
+ <p>If you chose to accept cookies from <gui>All websites</gui>, then websites
+ that you have not visited will be able to leave <em>third party cookies</em>.
+ Third party cookies are often used by advertisers and social media websites
+ to track your activity across websites and offer targeted content. Note that
+ some websites, such as Outlook.com, use third party cookies to monitor
+ whether you are logged in.</p>
