These uses generally fall into one of the following categories:<br/> </p> <ul><li><b>Authentication and security:</b><ul><li>To log you into Twitter and Periscope.<br/> </li><li>To protect your security.</li><li>To let you to view content with limited distribution.</li><li>To help us detect and fight spam, abuse, and other activities that violate the <a href="/web/20181213010139/https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules" rel="nofollow">Twitter Rules</a> and the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20181213010139/https://www.periscope.tv/content" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Periscope Community Guidelines</a>.</li><li>For example, these technologies help authenticate your access to Twitter and Periscope and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your account. They also let us show you appropriate content through our services.</li></ul> </li><li><b>Preferences:</b><ul><li>To remember information about your browser and your preferences.</li><li>For example, cookies help us remember your preferred language or the country that you are in. We can then provide you with Twitter and Periscope content in your preferred language without having to ask you each time you visit Twitter or Periscope. On Twitter, we can also customize content based on your country, such as showing you what topics are trending near you, or to withhold certain content based on applicable local laws.
