The following information is about Cookie.
Cookie Defined
A special file which contains information about you, something you clicked on, and/or your computer system, and is stored in a text file on your hard drive. This information is usually accessed by an Internet server when you connect to a Web site which wants to know some information about you or your system. One common occurance of a "setting a cookie", would be when you as a user, log into a system through a Web site. After you enter your username and password, a text file is saved by your browser on your hard drive for later access by the same WEeb site. This prevents you from having to log in again if you happen to leave the Web site and then return at a later time. Cookies are often used to aid and streamline the process of purchasing items on the Web. It is because of the cookie that the "shopping cart" technology works. By saving in a text file, the name, and other important information about an item a user "clicks" on as they move through a shopping Web site, a user can later go to an order form, and see all the items they selected, ready for quick and easy processing.
