Why Are Internet Cookies Called Cookies? What's the Story Behind the Name? Alternatively: Can Someone

Hey everyone!

So, I was browsing earlier and it hit me—why are internet cookies called cookies? Like, they’re not edible, right? 😂

I know they store data and stuff, but where did the name come from? Is there some weird tech history behind it, or did someone just really like snacks while coding?

If anyone knows the story, spill the tea! I’m low-key curious now.

(Also, side note: who else *hates* when sites ask you to "accept all cookies"? Like, no, I don’t want your digital Oreos, thanks.)

Anyway, explanations welcome! 🍪
