2. What are Cookies?

  • Cookies are files which often include unique identifiers that are sent by web servers to web browsers, and which may then be sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
  • Cookies can be used by web servers to identity and track users as they navigate different pages on a website, and to identify users returning to a website.
  • Cookies may be either “persistent” or “session” cookies.
    • A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date).
    • A session cookie will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed
  • The cookies named __utma through __utmz come from websites that use Google Analytics, which primarily use it to track visits.
