Whats a cookie in the web?
In: Technology
A web cookie is a piece of data that a website stores on your PC. This is often times used to authenticate you when you go to a website that you logged into (Sort of an “ID card”), it can also be used to store website settings.
IE: You visit a website and it asks you if you want to partake in a survey, you click “No” and the website stores a cookie on your PC to indicate that you declined the survey. Next time you visit that website it will not ask you to partake in the survey.
