What is Cookies?
A cookie, also known as an HTTP cookie, web cookie, or browser cookie, is a small piece of data
sent from a website and stored in a user’s web browser while the user is browsing that website.
Every time the user loads the website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server to notify
the website of the user’s previous activity. Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism
for websites to remember essential information (such as items in a shopping cart) or to record
the user’s browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which
pages were visited by the user as far back as months or years ago).
