How To Give Myself A Cookie

LtStaffel · April 23, 2016

No, not the chocolate chip kind.

Hello,

I've been recently interested in writing my own cookie. There doesn't seem to be much trouble in doing that, I've found a couple sites that explain it. However I've had trouble finding out how to put it on my own computer. So maybe this is a simple question (or questions) but I'm pretty much blind in this area. Where do I put the cookie, and what file type should it be?

Thanks in advance for explaining networking to a complete newbie

Ok, here have one of my raisin ones:

You can download it to your PC and save it as a PNG

If you are on about the HTTP cookies that websites use then you need a webserver. Set one up in a linux vm or use XAMPP for windows (I personally prefer the portable one, under more downloads). You can then write a php file to set the cookie for anyone who requests the page. the broswer will automaticly store the cookie. there are options for the cookies so look on the php page for help. I am here if you need anything else or help. Note: this may be reposted several times as it was posted during a DDOS attack. sorry for possible spam.

What are you trying to do? Cookies are used by websites to help identify you, you can't just add cookies and even if you did they wouldn't do anything.
