C is for Cookie, thats good enough for me

Cookies track where you go on the website and track what6 you like and what you dont and what you tend to steer to. It also makes the shopping cart work. But what is a cookie well, a cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. It contains information about your visit that you may want the site to remember, like your preferred language and other settings. The browser stores this data and pulls it out the next time you visit the site to make the next trip easier and more personalized. If you visit
a movie website and indicate that you’re most interested in comedies, for instance, the cookies sent by the website can remember this so you may see comedies displayed at the start of your next visit. Neato.
