Internet cookies (often simply called “cookies”) are small files placed by Web servers in your computer when you visit a website for the first time. They place them there to remember who you are and what you did when you visited their site. So the next time you access their site, they can make the experience smoother and more convenient for you by serving up personalized content.
Think of Internet cookies as nametags you wear at a party. The host sees the tag and remembers who you are.
