Imagine a cookie as a small piece of information that websites store on your device to remember things about you, like your name or preferences.

Let's say you visit a magical candy store online and you tell the store owner your favorite color is yellow. The store owner gives you a magical cookie that remembers your favorite color.

Now, every time you visit the candy store again, the owner looks at the cookie to see your favorite color without you having to tell him again.

But don't worry, these cookies are not like the ones you eat; they are invisible and can only be seen by the website that gave them to you.

So, cookies help websites remember things about you to make your online experience sweeter and more personalized!
