CookieSmall piece of data sent from a website and stored in

the user's web browser while the user is browsing it. Every time the user loads the website, the browser

sends the cookie back to the server to notify the user's previous activity.

Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember information (such as items added in the shopping cart in an online store) or to record the user's browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past).

Cookies can also store passwords and form content a user has previously entered, such as a credit card number or an address.

CloudIf you use any kind of social media or

online data drive, you're already using the cloud; you just may not realize it.

So what is the cloud?The cloud is a network of servers, and

each server has a different function. Some servers use computing power to run applications or "deliver a service."

For example, Adobe recently moved its creative services to the cloud. You can no longer buy the Creative Suite (Photoshop, Premier Pro, etc) in a box set. Instead, you must pay a monthly subscription fee to use each individual service. That's why it's now called the “Adobe Creative Cloud" instead.

URL addressInformally termed a web

addressa reference to a web resource

that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it.

The WEB ADDRESS goes in the ADDRESS BAR of your internet browser.
