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.
