cookies A packet of messages a Web server passes to your Web browser. When you enter a Web site that uses cookies, you may be asked to fill out a form with informa- tion such as your name and interests. This information is passed to your Pocket Internet Explorer browser as a cookie (in the form of a text file called cookie.txt). The next time you visit that Web site, your Pocket Internet Explorer will pass the cookie back to the Web server, and the server will use this information to present you, for instance, with custom Web pages filled with information of interest to you. For example, instead of being presented with a generic welcome page, you might receive a welcome page with your name on it.
