What is a cookie?

A cookie is a piece of information in the form of a tiny text file placed on an internet user’s hard drive. It is generated by a web page server, which is basically the computer that operates a web site. The information the cookie contains is set by the server, and it can be used by that server whenever the user visits the website. These help us recognize you and your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.

Types of cookies

• The session, or transient cookies. The cookies stored in the computer’s memory only during a user’s browsing session are automatically deleted from the user’s machine when the browser is closed. These cookies usually store a session ID that is not personally identifiable to users, allowing the user to move from page to page without repeatedly log-in. 
• Permanent, persistent, or stored cookies. Cookies that are stored on the user’s computer and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies can retain user preferences for a particular web site, allowing those preferences to be used in future browsing sessions.
• Fash cookies. If you have Adobe Flash installed on your computer (most computers do), small files may be stored on your computer by websites that contain Flash media, such as video clips. These files are known as Local Shared Objects (LSOs) or Flash cookies. They can be used for the same purposes as regular cookies (properly called HTTP cookies).
