An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie," or "HTTP cookie," or "cookie") is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile device, or other equipment through which the internet or a specific webpage is accessed.

Cookies are installed by request from a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari). Once installed, cookies have a fixed lifetime and remain "passive" in the sense that they do not contain software, viruses, or spyware and will not access information on the hard drive of the user on whose equipment they are installed. Most cookie consists of two parts: (i) the name and (ii) the content or value of the cookie. Technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can re-access it when a user returns to the web page associated with that webserver.

There are the following categories of cookies:

• Session Cookies - A "session cookie" is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.
• Persistent Cookies - A "persistent cookie" is a cookie that remains stored on the user's terminal until it reaches a certain expiration date (which may be minutes, days, or years in the future).

Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are only used for a single session (i.e., session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user leaves the website. Some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that web page (i.e., persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time via their browser settings.

Cookies can generally be installed by the controller of the accessed website's "own cookies" or by other websites' "third-party cookies."
