Browser Enhancements
Cookie Support
- In an attempt to solve the user tracking problem, browsers added “Cookies”. A Cookie is simply a bit of data that is returned to the web server with a request for data. For example, a web server may issue a cookie that will be returned whenever a user hits a page within “/myapplication/*”. The cookie is not executable, and does not have any more data when it returns, as it did when it was created. (Starting to be misused, however.)
