Cookies were first made from little pieces of cake batter that were cooked separately in order to test oven temperature.
Cookies are made in a vast variety of styles, using an array of possible ingredients including sugars, spices, chocolate, butter, peanut butter, nuts or dried fruits.
Brownies are an example of a batter-type bar cookie, while Rice Crispie treats are a bar cookie that doesn't require baking, perhaps similar to a cereal bar.

A HTTP cookie (usually called simply a cookie) is a packet of information sent by an server to a World Wide Web browser and then sent back by the browser each time it accesses that server.
Cookies can contain any arbitrary information the server chooses and are used to maintain state between otherwise stateless HTTP transactions.
Cookies also have some important implications with respect to a user's privacy and anonymity on the web.

 Client Side State - HTTP Cookies
Cookies are a general mechanism which server side connections (such as CGI scripts) can use to both store and retrieve information on the client side of the connection.
If a cookie has already passed domain matching, then the pathname component of the URL is compared with the path attribute, and if there is a match, the cookie is considered valid and is sent along with the URL request.
When a cookie larger than 4 kilobytes is encountered the cookie should be trimmed to fit, but the name should remain intact as long as it is less than 4 kilobytes.

 Http Cookie Encyclopedia Article @ TheBottomDollar.com (The Bottom Dollar)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The term "cookie" is derived from "magic cookie," a well-known concept in UNIX computing which inspired both the idea and the name of HTTP cookies.

 Internet Cookies
Cookies can only tell a web server if you have been there before and can pass short bits of information (such as a user number) from the web server back to itself the next time you visit.
A cookie sent along with the request can add only that information, which is contained in the cookie and which, was originally sent to the browser by the same server.
Cookies and Buying Habits ========================= One of the less admirable uses of cookies, and the one that is causing all the controversy, is its use as a device for tracking the browsing and buying habits of individual web users.

Setting a path for the cookie allows the current document to share cookie information with other pages within the same domainthat is, if the path is set to /thispathname, all pages in /thispathname and all pages in subfolders of /thispathname can access the same cookie information.
Each cookie is stored in a name=value; pair called a crumbthat is, if the cookie name is "id" and you want to save the id's value as "this", the cookie would be saved as id=this.
You can store up to 20 name=value pairs in a cookie, and the cookie is always returned as a string of all the cookies that apply to the page.

User agent makes request to victim.cracker.edu again, and passes Cookie: $Version="1"; session_id="1234"; session_id="1111"; $Domain=".cracker.edu" The server at victim.cracker.edu should detect that the second cookie was not one it originated by noticing that the Domain attribute is not for itself and ignore it.

 CGI::Cookie - Interface to Netscape Cookies
If the cookie specifies an expiration date in the future, the browser will store the cookie information in a disk file and return it to the server every time the user reconnects (until the expiration date is reached).
If the cookie species an expiration date in the past, the browser will remove the cookie from the disk file.
For example, if you specify the path ``/cgi-bin'', then the cookie will be returned to each of the scripts ``/cgi-bin/tally.pl'', ``/cgi-bin/order.pl'', and ``/cgi-bin/customer_service/complain.pl'', but not to the script ``/cgi-private/site_admin.pl''.
