Cookie
When you need to pass some snippet of information to another system to make it do something, how do you do it? If you're on
the Web or some other network, you use a cookie (also known as a magic cookie). The cookie is a text file saved in your
browser's directory or folder and stored in RAM while your browser is running. Most of the information in a cookie is pretty
