1. What are cookies?

An "internet cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie," "HTTP cookie," or simply "cookie") is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the internet.

Cookies are installed through a request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).

Once installed, cookies have a limited lifespan, remain "passive," and do not contain software, viruses, or spyware, nor do they access information on the user’s hard drive.

A cookie consists of two parts: the cookie name and its content/value.

Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user revisits the website.
