Which of the following holds information about the sites you have visited, or may also hold credentials to access the site?

Correct option is A

Cookies are small pieces of data stored by websites on a user's browser. They often contain information like login credentials, site preferences, and records of pages visited. This allows websites to remember users and their activity between sessions.

Important Key Points:

1. Cookies help enable features like "remember me" on login pages.
2. They can be session-based (temporary) or persistent (stored for longer).
3. While useful, cookies can pose privacy concerns if misused for tracking.

Knowledge Booster:

• Plug-ins are software components that add features to browsers (like playing video or audio) but do not store browsing data.
• ActiveX is a Microsoft framework for interactive content in Internet Explorer, not used for tracking or storing credentials.
• JavaScript is a scripting language used for dynamic behavior on webpages; it may access cookies, but it doesn't store data on its own.
