Man, those are good. This article is about cookies, although not about those gooey cookies my grandma makes. Rather, this article is about small text files, saved on the client's computer, for customization purposes. An early attempt at providing customization was the use of cookies .
Cookies are small text files written to the client's computer by a particular web site.
These text files can then be read by scripts on the same web server that wrote those cookies. Since the cookies are written on the client's computer, specific information can be saved for each user. Cookies are nice because they can be used to store small bits of user-specific information. You could create a Form into which the user could enter a series of URLs. You could then store these URLs on the user's computer using a cookie.
