What are Cookies?
An HTTP cookie or cookie is a special text, often encoded, sent by a server to a web browser and then sent back (unmodified) by the browser, each time it accesses that server. Cookies are used for authentication as well as for tracking user behavior; Typical applications are the retention of user preferences and the implementation of the “shopping cart” system.
The term “cookie” is an English word (biscuit, pronunciation: / ˈkuˌki /). In computer science it is derived from the term “magic cookie”, a concept often used in IT. In general, the word “cookie” for this purpose is used in other languages; only in the Francophone technical terminology was its translation tried by the term witness (“witness”).
Cookies have created concern because they allow us to gather information about user behavior (in principle, what web pages they visit and when). As a result, their use (and the information collected) is subject to legal restrictions in some countries, including the United States and EU countries. Cookie techniques have also been criticized for not always accurately identifying users, or for hacking them.
Most modern browsers allow the user to decide whether or not to accept cookies. However, sites that refuse them will lack certain facilities – for example, in a virtual store will not be able to use the shopping cart, if it has been implemented with the help of cookies. (Source: Wikipedia)
