What is a cookie?
A
cookie is a
harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. The purpose of the
cookie is to allow the website to remember your visit when you return to browse that page. Although many people are unaware,
cookies have been in use for over 20 years, since the first web browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.
What is NOT a cookie?
It is not a virus, trojan, worm, spam, spyware, or a pop-up window generator.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or banking details, photographs, your ID, or personal information. The data they store is technical in nature, including personal preferences, content customization, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person but rather your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try accessing the same website with Firefox or Chrome, the site will not recognize you as the same person because it is actually associating the session with the browser, not with you personally.
