===APIs===
{{anchor|APIs}}
An “application programming interface” or “API” is a communication protocol that allows software components to communicate with each other. The [[mw:API:Main_page|Mediawiki API]], for example, allows third-party software tools to communicate with Mediawiki sites (including Wikimedia Sites) to carry out certain actions, such as reading or editing a page, automatically and remotely. [[w:en:API|Learn more]].
===Browsers===
{{anchor|Browsers}}
A “browser” is a software application that people generally use to access the Internet. Examples of popular browsers include [//www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ Chrome], [//www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ Firefox], [//www.apple.com/safari/ Safari], and [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/download-ie Internet Explorer]. [[w:en:Web browser|Learn more]].
===Cookies===
{{anchor|Cookies}}
A “cookie” is a tiny data file that we transfer onto your computer, mobile phone, or any other device that you use to access the Wikimedia Sites. Every cookie expires after a certain period of time, but that period varies depending on what the cookie is used for and how your browser is configured. A “session” cookie is one that generally expires when you close your web browser or mobile application. A “persistent” cookie is one that remains in your device, even after you close your browser or mobile application. A persistent cookie expires according to the duration set by us (or when you delete it manually). [[w:en:HTTP_cookie|Learn more]]. Test
You may remove or disable cookies through your browser settings. DELETE
===GPS===
{{anchor|GPS}}
The “global positioning system” or “GPS” is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information on the location of devices designed to receive their signals such as car navigation systems or cell phones. [[w:en:Gps|Learn more]].
===Internet Protocol Address===
{{anchor|Internet Protocol Address}}
An Internet Protocol Address (or “IP address”) is a unique number assigned to a particular device connected to the Internet. Your IP address may not always be the same on a particular device, depending on a number of variables such as your use of a [[#Proxy Servers|proxy server]] or a corporate network. Generally, however, IP addresses are assigned according to the geographical location of your device and might be to able to approximate your real-life location. [[w:en:Ip_address|Learn more]].
===Javascript===
{{anchor|Javascript}}
"Javascript" is a standard software programming language used on most websites. [[w:en:Javascript|Learn more]].
===Local Storage===
{{anchor|Local Storage}}
“Local Storage” is a way for a website to collect and store information "locally" (i.e. on the user's device rather than on the website’s server) and then later retrieve it again. For example, by using LocalStorage, a user’s visits can be stored on their own computer, counted, and then given to us. This allow us to receive important use statistics (the count of visits), while the specific information about when each individual visit occurred would never be transmitted to us.
===Metadata===
{{anchor|Metadata}}
“Metadata” means additional information about a particular file (such as a photo or video) that usually includes things like the manufacturer and model of the device that took a photo, date and time the photo was taken, exposure time, lens focal length, ISO speed rating, and F-number. Some metadata is automatically included by the device and some is written by the owner of the device. [[w:en:Metadata|Learn more]].
===Operating System===
{{anchor|Operating System}}
An “operating system” is a software program that manages your device’s hardware resources and performs basic tasks like keeping track of files, recognizing when you type something into the keyboard, and sending output to your screen. Examples of common operating systems include [//linux.org Linux], [//www.apple.com/ios/ iOS], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/home Windows], [//www.apple.com/osx/ Mac OS X], and [http://www.android.com/ Android]. [[w:en:Operating_system|Learn more]].
===Proxy Servers===
{{anchor|Proxy Servers}}
A “proxy server” is a server that acts as an intermediary between your device and the server your device is requesting information (connection to a webpage, a file, etc.) from. [[w:en:Proxy server|Learn more]].
===Tracking Pixel===
{{anchor|Tracking Pixel}}
A “tracking pixel” (sometimes called “web beacons”, “transparent GIFs”, “clear GIFs”, “pixel gifs”, or “pixel tags”) is a tiny, invisible image that allows us to track activities on Wikimedia Sites or activities based on email notifications we send. Although tracking pixels are commonly associated with advertising, we never use tracking pixels for advertising nor do we sell or rent the information collected through tracking pixels. Information collected through tracking pixels can only be shared with third parties in aggregated form and in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Tracking pixels help us figure out if certain features, notifications, and products are effective and if they can be improved. [[w:en:Web_bug|Learn more]].
