what is the meaning of cookies?

Answer 1

A cookie is a file created by an Internet site to store information on your computer, such as your preferences when visiting that site. For example, if you inquire about a flight schedule at an airline's Web site, the site might create a cookie that contains your itinerary. Or it might only contain a record of the pages you looked at within the site you visited, to help the site customize the view for you the next time you visit.

Cookies can also store personally identifiable information. Personally identifiable information is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, e-mail address, home or work address, or telephone number. However, a Web site only has access to the personally identifiable information that you provide. For example, a Web site cannot determine your e-mail name unless you provide it. Also, a Web site cannot gain access to other information on your computer.

Once a cookie is saved on your computer, only the Web site that created the cookie can read it.

Answer 2

Cookies are just little pieces of data that store on your PC when you visit Websites. They're supposed to better enhance your experience and remember you for when you visit again. Many cookies are required to access certain sites while others just invade your privacy, so it's not always entirely good to keep them. You can always delete the cookies from your computer after you're done using it.

Answer 3

Whenever you visit a page and sign up for something cookies remember your information so that the next time you go to that page you won't have to type in all the same information again. Sometimes it can be pretty invasive, but you can delete the cookies in "tools""internet options" "delete cookies."
