In practice, a cookie is a small, unnamed, user specific text file, which is stored on the user’s web browser. The server can read the cookie later, hence the browser in question can be recognized (e.g. when the user returns to a website that it has previously visited).  Cookies do not damage the user’s equipment.

Cookies are primarily divided into session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies expire once the user closes the web session, persistent cookies remain on the browser for a certain period of time, or until the user removes them.
