Cookies are a convenient way to carry information from one session on a
website to another, or between sessions on related websites, without having to
burden a server machine with massive amounts of data storage. Storing the data
on the server without using cookies would also be problematic because it would
be difficult to retrieve a particular user's information without requiring a
login on each visit to the website.
If there is a large amount of information to store, then a cookie can simply be
used as a means to identify a given user so that further related information can
be looked up on a server-side database. For example the first time a user visits
a site they may choose a username which is stored in the cookie, and then
provide data such as password, name, address, preferred font size, page layout,
etc. - this information would all be stored on the database using the username
as a key. Subsequently when the site is revisited the server will read the
cookie to find the username, and then retrieve all the user's information from
the database without it having to be re-entered.
How Long Does a Cookie Last?
The time of expiry of a cookie can be set when the cookie is created. By default
the cookie is destroyed when the current browser window is closed, but it can be
made to persist for an arbitrary length of time after that.
When a cookie is created it is possible to control its visibility by setting
its 'root domain'. It will then be accessible to any URL belonging to that root.
For example the root could be set to "whatarecookies.com" and the cookie would
then be available to sites in "www.whatarecookies.com" or "xyz.whatarecookies.com"
or "whatarecookies.com". This might be used to allow related pages to 'communicate'
with each other. It is not possible to set the root domain to 'top level'
domains such as '.com' or '.co.uk' since this would allow widespread access to
the cookie.
By default cookies are visible to all paths in their domains, but at the time of
creation they can be retricted to a given subpath - for example
"www.whatarecookies.com/images".
How Secure are Cookies?
There is a lot of concern about privacy and security on the internet. Cookies do
not in themselves present a threat to privacy, since they can only be used to
store information that the user has volunteered or that the web server already
has. Whilst it is possible that this information could be made available to
specific third party websites, this is no worse than storing it in a central
database. If you are concerned that the information you provide to a webserver
will not be treated as confidential then you should question whether you
actually need to provide that information at all.
Some commercial websites include embedded advertising material which is served from a third-party site, and it is possible for such adverts to store a cookie for that third-party site, containing information fed to it from the containing site - such information might include the name of the site, particular products being viewed, pages visited, etc. When the user later visits another site containing a similar embedded advert from the same third-party site, the advertiser will be able to read the cookie and use it to determine some information about the user's browsing history. This enables publishers to serve adverts targetted at a user's interests, so in theory having a greater chance of being relevant to the user. However, many people see such 'tracking cookies' as an invasion of privacy since they allow an advertiser to build up profiles of users without their consent or knowledge.
