Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs provide a navigation trail for users on a website. If they’re in a particular sub-section of the website, breadcrumbs allow them to see how they got there and what previous, high-level topic pages they could view as well that link to their current page.
Having a clear breadcrumb structure for a website is important, since it relates to user experience and avoids confusing visitors to your site.

Keyword
Keyword is a bit of a misnomer, because it can refer to a word or entire phrase that appears in web searches.
However, in either case, it refers to a word or phrase representing a specific search term and idea. Websites will build strategies to rank for particular keywords that are closely related to their products or services, in order to generate more traffic and leads.

Lead
In marketing, a lead is a prospective customer. Not all leads are equally promising, and not all engagement types are the same that signify a potential lead. Any engagement with your company or website, though, indicates a potential lead.

Cookie
In web terms, cookies are small chunks of data placed on our computer by websites when you visit them. These data chunks are generally harmless, but can be used to track user information and “remember” you when you revisit a website. They’re important for tracking user data on a website and making changes to improve the user experience.
