HTTP or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol is basically stateless. It simply means that any data that you have made starts from scratch again when the page that you requested has been sent and the connection between them is terminated. Developers worked on, to find a way to solve the problem. The first to come up with the idea of storing small data on the client was Netscape. They eventually created the “cookies” as the solution to that problem. The Netscape browser came up with cookies. These are small bits of information that a particular website on the client’s computer. These will then be sent back by the PC to the website every time that particular page was requested. a cookie can olny be used by the website that wrote them. It is a secure way to store data between pages. Cookies made some negative headlines a few years back. Initially it was thought that these cookies were employed and installed in the PCs to stalk users’ confidential infos. And came to a point that it was encouraged to disable cookies when browsing. But in the end, people got the real deal about the cookies and why its there. They’re basically harmless.
