Google is a powerful search engine that organizes and provides access to vast information on the internet. It also provides advertising services. Cookies come from Google domains (e.g., google.com, maps.google.com) when you visit a page on the website that includes an embed of a service provided by Google (such as Google Maps or YouTube) or a Google ad tracking script. These third-party Google cookies are generally used for marketing and advertising purposes.
