What is a computer cookie?

A cookie is small information sent by a website and stored in the user's browser, so that the website can check the user's previous activity.


Its main functions are:

Keep track of users: when a user enters their username and password, a cookie is stored so that they do not have to be entering them for each page of the server. However, a cookie does not identify a person, but rather a computer combination of the computing class-browser-user.

 

Obtain information about the user's browsing habits, and spyware attempts (spyware), by advertising agencies and others. This can cause privacy problems and is one of the reasons that cookies have their detractors.

 

Originally, they could only be stored by request of a CGI from the server, but Netscape gave its Javascript language the ability to enter them directly from the client, without the need for CGIs. At first, due to browser errors, this gave some security problems. Cookies can be deleted, accepted or blocked as desired, for this the web browser must be conveniently configured.


Purpose

Cookies are commonly used by application servers to differentiate users and to act differently depending on them. Cookies were invented to be used in a virtual shopping basket, which acts as a virtual device in which the user "places" the items he wishes to purchase, so that users can navigate the site where the objects are displayed for sale and add and remove them from the shopping cart at any time. Cookies allow the content of the shopping cart to depend on the actions of the user.

 

One use of cookies is to identify yourself on a website. Users are typically identified by entering their credentials on a validation page; Cookies allow the server to know that the user is already validated, and therefore they can be allowed to access services or perform operations that are restricted to unidentified users.

 

Other websites use cookies to personalize their appearance according to user preferences. Sites that require identification often offer this feature, although it is present on others that do not. Personalization includes both presentation and functionality. For example, Wikipedia pages allow logged in users to choose a presentation style to their liking; Google's search engine allows users (even non-registered users) to decide how many search results they want to see on each page.

 

Cookies are also used to track users throughout a website. Third-party cookies and web server errors explained below also allow tracking between different sites. Monitoring within the same site is usually done with the intention of maintaining usage statistics, while cross-site monitoring is usually aimed at the creation of anonymous user profiles by advertising companies, which will then be used to target campaigns. advertising (decide what type of advertising to use) based on user profiles.
