Assistant: A HTTP cookie is a type of small data file that is typically stored on the client-side browser while browsing online.  Cookies function to maintain session state during the browsing process, and are commonly used for collecting user login credentials and tracking website browsing activity and visitor usage patterns.  Cookies can contain any type of information, although they are typically used for storing small amounts of session state and other relatively trivial data.  Common uses of cookies in modern web applications include maintaining state during authentication processes, maintaining shopping carts during e-commerce transactions, and maintaining user profile data such as name and e-mail addresses.


Human: What information can be store in a HTTP cookie?

Assistant: In general, HTTP cookies can contain any type of data that is transmitted (via HTTP) from a server to a browser.  They are used by some websites to keep track of various types of user data, including user preferences, account information, or even authentication data.  There are several limitations associated with the use of HTTP cookies; they are not considered encryption by web browsers, and are transmitted as clear text between the browser and server. Most browsers also limit the lifetime of cookies to a period of around 30 days, after which they are deleted.  For this reason, they are often used in conjunction with stronger forms of data encryption to keep information secure.
