Cookie creative developed out of the concept of HTTP cookies. In order to give you and understand of our founding philosophy it is probably best to visit Wikipedia’s edited cookie explanation:

An HTTP cookie (also called web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie) is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on a user’s computer by the user’s web browser while the user is browsing. The term “cookie” was coined by web browser programmer Lou Montulli. It was derived from the term “magic cookie”, which is a packet of data a program receives and sends back.

​Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember information (such as items added in the shopping cart in an online store) or to record the user’s browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past). They can also be used to remember arbitrary pieces of information that the user previously entered into form fields such as names, addresses, passwords, and credit card numbers.

Other kinds of cookies perform essential functions in the modern web. Perhaps most importantly, authentication cookies are the most common method used by web servers to know whether the user is logged in or not, and which account they are logged in with. Without such a mechanism, the site would not know whether to send a page containing sensitive information, or require the user to authenticate themselves by logging in.

In conclusion, cookies are commonly used as ways to compile long-term records of individuals’ browsing histories so companies and service providers can offer a seamless and personalized online browsing experience. At Cookie Creative we keep this information secure and confidential, delivering customized solutions for organizations and their clients.
