It enables a website to remember information such as user preferences or the items included in the shopping cart. A cookie may be a session cookie or a cookie that is stored in the user’s browser while connected to a particular Web site and disappears at the end of the browser, or a persistent cookie, a cookie that stays in the browser for a certain period of time.
