Cookies
A cookie contains information (such as user preferences or configuration information) stored by a server on a client for future use. Cookies appear in two basic forms: as individual files or as records within one contiguous file. Often, there are multiple sets, the result of multiple browsers being installed in differing locations. In many cases, "forgotten" cookies contain revealing information that you would prefer others not see.
