Why are cookies (on the web) called cookies, and do they have any relationship to the food cookies? write 2-3 sentences about this topic. conduct research if necessary.

Some web browsers (not all) create simple text files called ‘cookies’ when you visit certain sites. Your device stores the text files locally allowing your browser to access the cookie and pass data back to the original website. Some think that the name ‘cookie’ came from the story Hansel and Gretal where the children were able to ‘mark’ their trail through a dark forest by dropping “cookie crumbs” behind them so that they were able to see where they had been. The story shows you the ability that internet cookies have to be able to track your activity.

Hope this helps! :)

explanation:

because they are scammers. our phones tells us when there are known scammers calling just so we can be informed. so basically they want to scam you. lol
