COOKIES Cookies are small pieces of data, including usernames and passwords, exchanged between a user's computer and a web server to identify specific users and improve their browsing experience. Cookies are created when a user visits a new website, and the web server sends a short information flow to web browsers. These cookies are only sent when the server requests the browser to save the cookie. In this case, the value is remembered and sent back to the server with each subsequent request. If the user returns to the site in the future, the web browser returns this data to the web server in the form of a cookie. The term "cookie" comes from the term "magic cookies" invented by web browser programmer Lou Montulli. These terms refer to information packets sent and received without change. The similarity to a baked food called a cookie is coincidental but can also be a fitting analogy. Cookies can be classified and identified based on their usage purposes, storage periods, and sources.
