Cookies are small files which are stored on a user's computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website, and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer.

Cookies are messages that web servers pass to your web browser when you visit Internet sites. Your browser stores each message in a small file, called cookie.txt . When you request another page from the server, your browser sends the cookie back to the server.

There are a lot of myths surrounding cookies, mostly making them out to be in some way dangerous for your computer or infringing of privacy rights. Cookies are, in fact, nothing more than very small text files that are placed on your computer/browser when you visit certain websites.

Cookies are indeed tiny programs (text files) , not spyware, and they are usually placed clandestinely by web sites (web servers) in your computer to gather certain information about you such as your surfing habits. ... But Cookies are good sometimes because they do things that looks like magic.
