Cookies[1], also known as Persistence, are the most popular way that Websites rememberyour details and preferences on the internet, in some cases cookies may need to be enabled.Cookies are stored on your computer and are found in all major browsers, such as InternetExplorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari. Cookies can only be read by the website thatasked your browser to store them, and they allow the websites to treat your computer as areturning visitor, otherwise it has no way of knowing if you're a new visitor every time you viewanother page on the website. Interactive websites usually require cookies, or else they mustplace a unique identifier in every link on their site to accomplish the same goal, but thatdoesn't allow you to re-visit the page the next day and have it be in the same state, so cookiesare indeed a much better option for most websites.
