What are cookies?
The HTTP cookie, commonly referred to simply as a cookie, is a packet of information in the form of a very small file sent by a web server to your Internet browser and then returned by the browser every time he has access to the same server. Cookies are invented by Lou Montulli, former employee of Netscape Communications. Almost every bigger and more feature-rich site on the Internet uses cookies.
What do cookies identify?
If more than one browser is used on a computer, each one has separate storage space for cookies. Cookies do not identify a person, but a combination of a computer and a web browser. Therefore, a person using multiple browsers and / or computers has a separate set of cookies for each computer-browser combination. On the other hand, cookies do not distinguish between multiple users sharing the same computer and browser unless they use different user accounts.
What are cookies used for?

Examples of functions of cookies:
