# Third-party Cookies used in BlackDiamond Studio

In BlackDiamond Studio, some third-party cookies are used. In this case, third-party cookies are cookies that belong to a website other than **bds.mobilize.net.** However, all third-party cookies that are used in BlackDiamond Studio belong to trustworthy websites which are controlled by **Mobilize.Net**.

## Why do we use third-party cookies?

We use third-party cookies in order to interact with other websites owned by **Mobilize.Net**, such as [**https://login.bds.mobilize.net**](https://login.bds.mobilize.net) and [**https://ide.bds.mobilize.net**](https://login.bds.mobilize.net)**,** which are helpful for logging into the app and using the **IDE.** When using the **IDE**, both of those pages are embedded into the main website: **bds.mobilize.net,** which causes those cookies to be considered as "third-party", even if they are managed by **Mobilize.Net.**
