Cookie (Affiliate Programs)

A cookie is a file or code stored on a visitor’s computer, taken from the sites a person accesses, that is used to store information about what sites and types of sites a person accesses over a certain period.

Cookie (Cinematography)

A perforated material which is used to break up light or create a shadow pattern. Also known as a cucoloris. (Grip/Lighting)

Cookie (Computer Technology)

Websites send these to your browser so that the site is customized based on your previous actions on that site. If you want to view your cookies, look for a file called "cookie.txt" on your hard drive.

Cookie (Distance Learning)

A "cookie" is a tool that allows your computer to remember things about your computer activities. It is mostly used in conjunction with the Internet. An example of how a "cookie" is used is when you visit Amazon's website and it remembers what you bought last time and what you were looking for last time you visited the site. It is also how your computer remembers usernames and passwords if you select that option when asked. You can turn the cookie feature off, and some people feel that they need to do that for added security; however, it may affect the amount and what you can access on the web. Some of the databases accessible via the library system will not work unless cookies are turned on.

Cookie (Domain Names)

A file or data item left on your computer by a server or other system you've connected to. They are most commonly used to allow the server to record information about what screens you've already seen and any personalizing information you've supplied. Many users find this an invasion of Privacy, as few systems tell you they are collecting and recording data. There are a number of "anti-cookie" software that automatically erase any such data between visits to your site.

Cookie (E-Learning)

Information stored on a user's computer after he or she visits a Website. The cookie tracks data about that user but can be disabled in the browser.

Cookie (Film)

A screen with random holes cut out of it intended to be in front of a light giving off shadows and breaking up the boredom of plain light on a plain wall.

Cookie (Film Production)

A perforated material which is used to break up light or create a shadow pattern. Also known as a cucoloris. (Grip/Lighting)

Cookie (Information Security)

A piece of information or code sent by a Web Server to a Web Browser such that the Browser software is expected to save and send back to the Server whenever the Browser makes additional requests. Cookie may contain information such as login or registration information.

Cookie (Interactive Marketing)

A file on the user’s browser that uniquely identifies the user’s browser. There are two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are erased when the browser exits. Persistent cookies remain on the user’s hard drive until the user erases them or until they expire.

Cookie (Internet)

A message from a WEB SERVER computer, sent to and stored by your browser on your computer. When your computer consults the originating server computer, the cookie is sent back to the server, allowing it to respond to you according to the cookie's contents. The main use for cookies is to provide customized Web pages according to a profile of your interests. When you log onto a "customize" type of invitation on a Web page and fill in your name and other information, this may result in a cookie on your computer which that Web page will access to appear to "know" you and provide what you want. If you fill out these forms, you may also receive e-mail and other solicitation independent of cookies.

Cookie (Networking)

A string of characters saved by a web browser on the user's hard disk.

Cookie (Technology)

A special file which contains information about you, something you clicked on, and/or your computer system, and is stored in a text file on your hard drive. This information is usually accessed by an Internet server when you connect to a Web site which wants to know some information about you or your system. One common occurance of a "setting a cookie", would be when you as a user, log into a system through a Web site. After you enter your username and password, a text file is saved by your browser on your hard drive for later access by the same WEeb site. This prevents you from having to log in again if you happen to leave the Web site and then return at a later time. Cookies are often used to aid and streamline the process of purchasing items on the Web. It is because of the cookie that the "shopping cart" technology works. By saving in a text file, the name, and other important information about an item a user "clicks" on as they move through a shopping Web site, a user can later go to an order form, and see all the items they selected, ready for quick and easy processing.

Cookie (Usability)

A small text file stored on a user's computer which contains information provided by the user at an earlier time. Cookies are useful in providing a "memory" for information across web pages. They mainly contain such things as personal information, a list of pages viewed, or items in a shopping cart.

Cookie (Web)

A message given to a Web browser by a Web server. The browser stores the message in a text file. The message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
The main purpose of cookies is to identify users and possibly prepare customised Web pages for them. When you enter a Web site using cookies, you may be asked to fill out a form providing such information as your name and interests. This information is packaged into a cookie and sent to your Web browser which stores it for later use. The next time you go to the same Web site, your browser will send the cookie to the Web server. The server can use this information to present you with custom Web pages. So, for example, instead of seeing just a generic welcome page you might see a welcome page with your name on it.

Cookie (Web Hosting)

A message given to a Web browser by a Web server. The browser stores the message in a text file called cookie.txt. The message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. The main purpose of cookies is to identify users and possibly prepare customized Web pages for them. When you enter a Web site using cookies, you may be asked to fill out a form providing such information as your name and interests. This information is packaged into a cookie and sent to your Web browser which stores it for later use. The next time you go to the same Web site, your browser will send the cookie to the Web server. The server can use this information to present you with custom Web pages. So, for example, instead of seeing just a generic welcome page you might see a welcome page with your name on it.
