Trivia: What is the name for a small file left on a user’s device by a website?
Spam
Cookie
Plug-in
Cache
The correct answer is Cookie
So why is this answer correct? : A pop-up on a website that says, “This site uses cookies,” does not mean the user is in for a sweet treat. This means that the website leaves a small file on the user’s device that can track and store data from the user’s browsing behavior. When clicking “accept cookies,” a user is consenting to this. This is not always a bad thing, as it can streamline the user experience on a website, but it can lead to privacy issues in some cases.
