JavaScript Cookies
A cookie is an amount of information that persists between a server-side and a client-
side. A web browser stores this information at the time of Browsing
A cookie contains the information as a string generally in the form of a name value pair
separated by semi-colons. It maintains the state of a user and remembers the user's
Information among all the web pages
How Cookies Works?
When a user sends a request to the server, then each of that request is treated
as a new request sent by the different user.
So, to recognize the old user, we need to add the cookie with the response from
the server
browser at the client-side.
Now, whenever a user sends a request to the server, the cookie is added with
that request automatically. Due to the cookie, the server recognizes the users.
How to create a Cookie in JavaScript?
In JavaScript. we can create, read, update and delete a cookie by
using document.cookie property
The following syntax is used to create cookie:
document.cookie="name=value";
