A cookie is a text-only string that gets entered into the memory of your browser. This value of a variable that a website sets. If the lifetime of this value is set to be longer than the time you spend at that site, then this string is saved to file for future reference.

a cookie is a text file created by the webpage in a certain place on your hard disk. It contains your login name, date and time of visit, etc. so that the website can identify you next time you visit the same website.

Small data files web sites place on your computer to keep track of your settings. Not always a bad thing, as they help your pc remember whats in your shopping cart at online stores as you travel from page to page (like Amazon.com)
