A brief explanation of what cookies are and why it has been necessary to provide clarity on this matter since June 2, 2015.

What Are Cookies?

From Wikipedia: In computer science, HTTP cookies (more commonly referred to as Web cookies, tracking cookies, or simply cookies) are lines of text used for automatic authentication, session tracking, and storing specific information about users accessing the server, such as favorite websites or, in the case of online purchases, the contents of their “shopping carts.” Specifically, they are small text strings sent from a server to a web client (usually a browser) and then sent back by the client to the server (without being modified) every time the client accesses the same portion of the same web domain. The term “cookie”—literally “biscuit”—derives from “magic cookie,” a concept well-known in the UNIX environment that inspired both the idea and the name of HTTP cookies.
