mobile_preloader

After the initial page load, this cookie is set to 1, preventing the Mobile Preloader from running again during subsequent visits.

This cookie is only created when the Front-End Optimization: Mobile Preloader Advanced Setting is enabled.

A couple of improvements I'd also make while you're editing:

• Change the title to Cookies Used on Brilliant Directories Websites ("on" instead of "On").
• Wrap every cookie name in inline code formatting (cookie_name) to make the article much easier to scan.
• Standardize every section to follow the same pattern:
  1. What it is
  2. Who sets it
  3. What it does

That consistency makes these technical reference articles much more readable.
