The simple answer is that there is no difference between them. Obviously, spiders make spiderwebs, hence the name, and in comparison "cobs" make cobwebs. And with a little research you can find that "cob" or "coppe" is the Middle English word for spider, dating from about the 14th century. In fact the term spiderweb was a much later introduction to the language in around 1649.

Cobwebs are spider webs that are full of dust and are usually old. The word cobweb is also used to explain a mess or tangle of things. Example: A cobweb of legalities.
