Cookies are small text files sent by a server, or web site, to store information on your computer. The next time you go to that site, or log on to that server, your computer sends that same cookie back to the server unchanged. Cookies are mostly used for authentication, keeping track of user information (preferences), and state maintenance (since the internet is a state-less protocol). Cookies, are not however, programs, but only date represented by text.
