Website cookies are text files containing small amounts of data that are created when you arrive on a web page
and are stored in your Internet browser automatically.
Cookies are used to tailor the experience of using a specific website to a certain user.
This information is encrypted, so only the website and your web browser can access it. When you land on a web page, the law requires websites that use cookies to ask your permission to collect them.
These are usually written when a new web page is opened after you've submitted information. They allow the website to 'remember' what information you've entered on a previous page and most websites require the use of cookies, as many basic functions won't work if you decide not to accept them.
Session Cookies are also used by the server to store information about user page activities so users can
easily pick up where they left off on the server's pages. By default, web pages really don't have any 'memory'.
Cookies tell the server what pages to show the user so the user doesn't have to remember or start navigating the site all over again. Cookies act as a sort of “bookmark” within the site. Similarly, cookies can store ordering information needed to make shopping carts work instead of forcing the user to remember all the items the user put in the shopping cart.
