A cookie is a very small text file that is stored on a visitor’s computer. Cookies are used by many web sites in order to give the visitor access to certain functionalities. The information in a cookie can be used to track a visitor’s surfing on the Internet.

There are two types of cookies. The first type saves information in a file on the computer even after the visit to a web site has been terminated and the browser has been closed. Such cookies are used, for example, with functionalities which tell a user what has been changed since the last time the user visited the web site. The other type of cookies is called session cookies. While a user is visiting a web site, a session cookie is temporarily stored in the computer’s memory, for instance in order to track the visitor’s language selection. Session cookies are not stored on the computer’s hard disk, and disappear when the web browser is closed.
