Definition


"Le cookie" is a small data file stored on a user's device by a website to remember preferences, login information, or track browsing behavior for a smoother and personalized web experience.

Etymology


The term "le cookie" comes from the English word 'cookie,' which originally referred to a small piece of data sent from a web server to a browser. The word 'cookie' itself traces back to the Dutch word 'koekje,' meaning 'little cake.' Did you know this tasty name was chosen because a cookie on the internet 'stores' information much like a baked cookie stores ingredients?
