HTTP Cookies Explained With a Simple Diagram

HTTP, the language of the web, is naturally “stateless.” But hey, we all want that seamless, continuous browsing experience, right? Enter the unsung heroes - Cookies!

So, here’s the scoop in this cookie flyer:

• HTTP is like a goldfish with no memory - it forgets you instantly! But cookies swoop in to the rescue, adding that “session secret sauce” to your web interactions.

• Cookies? Think of them as little notes you pass to the web server, saying, “Remember me, please!” And yes, they’re stored there, like cherished mementos.

• Browsers are like cookie bouncers, making sure your cookies don’t party crash at the wrong website.

• Finally, meet the cookie celebrities - SameSite, Name, Value, Secure, Domain, and HttpOnly. They’re the cool kids setting the rules in the cookie jar!
