Answer: Computer cookie are made with tender loving care; but unfortunately, cannot be eaten unless you know where to find them. They are also known as a browser cookie; tracking cookie; web cookie; internet cookie and HTTP cookie and are small strings of text (coded by a human) and subsequently stored on a user's computer by means of the user having accessed a given Internet site (Host site) that was kind enough to store its cookie on your PC. A cookie's text string consists of one or more name-value pairs containing bits of information that are designed to tally user preferences (i.e.; which web sites are visited), shopping cart contents, and the identifier for a server-based session, or other data used by websites. In a nutshell, cookies are designed for marketing purposes allowing goods & service suppliers and manufacturers a means of knowing how the public is reacting to said goods & services. A cookie is sent as an HTTP header by a web (host) server to a web client (usually a browser used by you) and then sent back unchanged by the client each time it accesses that server. Cookies are subject to a number of misconceptions, mostly based on the erroneous notion that they are computer programs that run on a user's computer. In fact, cookies are simple pieces of text data that only affect the operation of the web server, not your PC, and do so in very specific ways. In particular, they are neither spyware nor viruses, although cookies from certain sites are described as spyware by many anti-spyware products because they can allow users to be tracked when they visit various sites.

How many computer cookies can you have?

Every website you visit places a small file onto your computer harddrive called "a cookie". A cookie tracks web visiting behavior. But it also contains information for your userID, loggin, and the last time you visited the site. If you look at a list of computer cookies saved onto your computer, often you will see a number in brackets after it showing the number of visits. Computer cookies are also useful when a person buys via the Internet. Computer users dislike cookies, feeling that cookies invade the users' privacy. Cookies also accumulate over time. So there are programs that will reliably delete cookies from your computer without harming the harddrive. As to how many cookies there can be or might be, the number on your computer depends on how many different websites you visit in a day, week, month, or year. If you use the Internet a lot and browse a lot, you probably have accumulated a lot of cookies.
