</div>Cookies are small text files stored on a user’s device, typically created and used by websites to manage user sessions, preferences, and other essential information. In the context of software development, cookies play a significant role in enhancing web functionality, improving user experience, and managing security.
The concept of cookies was introduced in 1994 by Lou Montulli, a developer at Netscape Communications, to solve the problem of statelessness in the HTTP protocol. HTTP, being stateless, does not retain information about user interactions across requests, which made it challenging to implement features like user authentication and shopping carts. Cookies addressed this limitation by enabling servers to store small pieces of data on client devices, thereby maintaining continuity between user sessions.
Cookies are small text files that consist of name-value pairs. These files are sent from the server to the client’s web browser and stored on the user’s device. On subsequent requests, the browser includes the stored cookies, enabling the server to recognise returning users or retrieve specific session information
1 Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire once the user closes the browser. They are primarily used to manage user sessions, such as keeping users logged in while navigating through pages.
2 Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on the user’s device until they expire or are manually deleted. They are used for long-term storage of preferences, login details, or tracking data.
3 Secure Cookies
Secure cookies are transmitted exclusively over encrypted HTTPS connections, protecting them from interception during transit.
4 HttpOnly Cookies
HttpOnly cookies are inaccessible via JavaScript, enhancing security by mitigating cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
5 Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one the user is visiting. They are commonly used for advertising and analytics
