WHAT IS A COOKIE?
Cookies are files, used for an origin website to send state information to a user’s browser and for the browser to return the state information to the origin site.
Cookies can be used by web servers to track user’s browsing activities.
Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie will outlast user sessions. It consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). A session cookie, on the other hand, only lasts for the duration of users using the website. A web browser normally deletes session cookies when it quits.
