According to Kaspersky, Cookies are text files with small pieces of data like a username and password that are used to identify your computer as you use a computer network. Specific cookies known as HTTP cookies are used to identify specific users and improve your web browsing experience.
HTTP cookies are a
repurposed version of the magic cookie built for internet browsing. Web
browser programmer Lou Montulli used the magic cookie as inspiration in 1994.
He recreated this concept for browsers when he helped an online shopping store
fix its overloaded servers. The HTTP cookie is what we currently use to manage
our online experiences. It is also what some malicious people can use to spy on
your online activity and steal your personal info.
Also, the other is Magic cookies are an old computing term
that refers to packets of information that are sent and received without
changes. Commonly, this would be used for log in to computer database systems,
such as a business internal network. This concept predates the modern cookie we use today.
