Cookie File
The cookie file is a file that resides on the client machine. It contains data passed from web sites, so that web sites can communicate with this file when the same user (client machine) returns. The web site only has access to the part of the cookie file that represents the interaction with that particular web site. The cookie file has caused some issues with respect to privacy. Considering that as consumers, we do not know what information is being stored in the file, we should become concerned! The cookie file was first developed in order to help sites with the transaction process of the web. Without a cookie file, web sites are not able to track a single user's path through a web site, thus a transaction that required multiple pages (as most do) would simply not be workable.
