What is a cookie?

Question

I am always on my computer but I have no idea what cookies are. What are they??? Thank You!!!

Answer 1

The cookie file is a file that resides on the client machine. It contains data passed from websites, so that websites can communicate with this file when the same client returns. The website only has access to the part of the cookie file that represents the interaction with that particular website. Clearly the cookie file has caused some issues with respect to privacy. Considering that as consumers, we do not know what information is being stored in the file, we should become concerned! ...

Answer 2

A cookie is simply an HTTP header that consists of text-only data that gets saved on your computer. This data commonly contains the domain, path, lifetime, and value of a variable that you set. If the lifetime of this variable is longer than the time the user spends at your site, then this string is saved to file for future reference.

Answer 3
