Explanation
Cookies are small text-based data files that a web server sends to a user's browser, which then stores them locally. They are used for session management (keeping users logged in), personalization, and tracking user behavior across pages or visits.

Temporary files and browser cache store page content for performance, not user-specific session or tracking data.
