An "internet cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie," "HTTP cookie," or simply "cookie") is a small file made up of letters and numbers that is stored on a user's computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the internet.

Cookies are installed through a request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).

Once installed, cookies have a specific lifespan and remain "passive," meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware, and they do not access information from the user’s hard drive on which they were installed.

A cookie consists of two parts: the name of the cookie and the content/value of the cookie.
