1. What Are HTTP Cookies?
An HTTP cookie (also known as a web cookie, internet cookie, or browser cookie) is a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters that a website places on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a webpage. Cookies allow web applications to recognize your browser, retain user preferences, manage security tokens, and track anonymous visitor interactions across pages.
Cookies can be "Session Cookies" (which automatically expire when you close your web browser) or "Persistent Cookies" (which remain stored on your device for a specified duration or until manually deleted). In addition to cookies, web applications may utilize browser Local Storage and Session Storage APIs to store preference tokens locally.
