  HI, @maameekua,

  Sites hosted on WordPress.com make use of cookies for a variety of different purposes.

  Click here for the full support document.

  Would you by any chance be looking for the Cookie Widget?

  If these aren’t what you are looking for, let me know what you are trying to do and I’ll be happy to help.

  Best Regards.

  Hi @maameekua,

  Please note that you do not need a Premium plan or a Business plan to enable cookies for your WordPress.com blog/site – in fact cookies, by default, are used by WordPress.com blogs/sites for various different reasons. Here’s what WordPress.com has to say about this:

  Cookies and WordPress.com

  Sites hosted on WordPress.com make use of cookies for a variety of different purposes. These include those that are ‘strictly necessary’ for technical reasons; those that enable a personalized experience for visitors and registered users; and those that allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action, such as clicking the ‘like’ or ‘follow’ button on a post.

  Many of the cookies we use are only set if a visitor is a registered WordPress.com user, whilst others are set for all visitors upon certain actions.

  There’s a great article about cookies here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/cookies/ – I hope that answers your question! :)
