Cookie 1 : (ICT) (INT, IS) A small text file that a Web server stores on a user's hard drive when the user visits certain Web sites. A cookie contains all the information that a user has to submit on a first visit to a particular Web site in order to gain access. When a user revisits that Web site, the cookie makes it unnecessary for the user to enter the same information all over again. The positive aspect of cookies is that they make it possible for users to take advantage of the convenient "shopping cart" feature of many Web sites. Unfortunately, cookies also make it possible for marketing organizations to monitor users' browsing patterns; users then find themselves the targets of custom-tailored marketing campaigns.
