Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on a user's computer that track information. When a user requests a webpage, the server embeds a cookie on the user's computer. Each subsequent request from that computer sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the server to identify the user. There are three steps: 1) the server sends cookie data to the browser, 2) the browser stores the cookies locally, and 3) future requests from the browser send the cookies back to the server to identify the user.
