How to create Cookies With Example

In computing, a cookie is a small string of text stored on a user’s computer by a web browser. A cookie consists of one or more name-value pairs containing bits of information such as user preferences, shopping cart contents the identifier for a server-based session, or other data used by websites.

It is sent as an HTTP header by a web server to a web client (usually a browser) and them sent back unchanged by client each time it accesses that server . A cookie can be used for authenticating, session tracking (state maintenance), and maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences or the contents of their electronic shopping carts.
