In the context of the internet, a cookie is a small piece of data stored on a user's device by a

information about the user's interactions and preferences, which can then be used for
various purposes during the user's visit or in subsequent visits to the same website.

user preferences, login details, items in a shopping cart, and other site-specific data.
​ Purpose: Cookies serve various purposes, including enhancing user experience,
personalizing content, providing website functionality, tracking user behavior for
analytics, and supporting marketing efforts.
​ First-Party and Third-Party Cookies: First-party cookies are set by the website the
user is directly interacting with, while third-party cookies are set by other domains
(e.g., advertisers or analytics services) that have content embedded in the website.
​ Session and Persistent Cookies: Session cookies are temporary and stored only
during the user's browsing session. They are deleted once the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on the user's device for a specific
period or until manually deleted.
​ User Consent: Many countries have data protection laws that require websites to
obtain user consent before setting non-essential cookies. Websites often display
cookie consent banners or pop-ups to inform users and give them the option to
accept or decline cookies.
​ Privacy Concerns: While cookies are essential for various website functionalities,
they also raise privacy concerns. Some users may be concerned about tracking and
data collection practices associated with cookies.
​ Cookie Management: Users can manage cookies through their browser settings,
allowing them to delete cookies, block specific cookies, or configure their preferences
regarding cookie acceptance.
Overall, cookies are a vital component of the internet, enabling personalized experiences
and improving website functionality, but they need to be used responsibly and in compliance
with data protection regulations to respect users' privacy rights.
