===Inaccurate identification===
If more than one browser is used on a computer, each usually has a separate storage area for cookies. Hence, cookies do not identify a person, but a combination of a user account, a computer, and a web browser. Thus, anyone who uses multiple accounts, computers, or browsers has multiple sets of cookies.<ref name="sD3KB">{{Cite web|last=Hoffman|first=Chris|title=What Is a Browser Cookie?|url=https://www.howtogeek.com/119458/htg-explains-whats-a-browser-cookie/|access-date=2021-04-03|website=How-To Geek|date=28 September 2016 |language=en-US}}</ref>
Likewise, cookies do not differentiate between multiple users who share the same [[user account]], computer, and browser.
