Cookies are installed by a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g.: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a fixed lifespan, remaining “passive”, meaning they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and will not access information on the hard drive of the user on whose device they were installed.
A cookie is made up of two parts:

Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
