What is a Cookie?

In information technology, an HTTP cookie (also known as a web cookie, tracking cookie, or simply cookie) is a small text file used to perform automatic authentication, session tracking, and record specific information about server visits. For example, when browsing online stores, this may include items in a user’s "shopping cart."

Specifically, cookies are short text strings sent by a server to a network user (typically a browser user) and returned to the server unchanged each time the user visits the same part of the website. Cookies can be set for every domain or subdomain accessed through a browser. Given that typical web pages contain objects from multiple domains, browsers often store hundreds of cookies.

General Considerations

Because cookies can monitor internet browsing behavior, they are a subject of privacy rights discussions. Many countries and organizations, including the U.S. and EU, have enacted legislation around their use. Cookies are also criticized for sometimes inaccurately identifying users and being vulnerable to cyberattacks. While some tools can replace cookies, all have trade-offs.

Contrary to popular belief, cookies are not programs and cannot independently execute actions on a computer. They are simple data files and pose no risk of spyware or viruses. However, some anti-spyware products flag them as such because they track user identities. Modern browsers allow users to accept or reject cookies, though refusal may disable certain features (e.g., shopping carts).
