cookie
1. <protocol> A handle, transaction ID, or other token of agreement between cooperating programs. "I give him a packet, he gives me back a cookie".
The claim check you get from a dry-cleaning shop is a perfect mundane example of a cookie; the only thing it's useful for is to relate a later transaction to this one (so you get the same clothes back).
Another example is an HTTP cookie.
Compare magic cookie; see also fortune cookie.
2. A cracker term for the password list on a multi-user computer.
3. An adjective describing a computer that just became toast.

A "cookie" is a small piece of information, a virtual "sticky note", sent by a Web server to be stored, by your browser, on your hard drive. The cookie stores information about you and can be retrieved by the Website each time you visit there. Without them, sites would not be able to retain information about individual visits; thus, cookies store "state information." Cookies are passive files, typically used in .asp (Active Server Page ) programming, and should not be confused with server-side databases that collect personal information you've voluntarily (or unwittingly) submitted.

Cookie
Small bits of data that a Web page asks a browser to store on a user's computer, either in RAM or on the hard drive. Cookies have become a valuable way to keep track of a visitor's movements on your site, as well as a convenient method to customize content based on a visitor's past preferences. A Cookie, for instance, allows a Web site to "recognize" and "remember" individual visitors by storing files on their browsers with a record of the last visit. Cookies cannot be used to "see" any other data on the user's computer, nor can they determine the user's e-mail address or identity.

GOBO
A thin metal plate etched to produce a design which can then be projected by a profile spotlight (E.g. Foliage, Windows). The image can be used soft focus to add texture, rather than a defined image. A number of composite gobos in different coloured lanterns can, with careful focusing, produce a coloured image (e.g. a stained glass window). Greater detail can be achieved using a glass gobo. The original use of the word GOBO came from the early days of Hollywood. When the Director of Photography wanted daylight excluded from some area of the set, he'd say "GO BlackOut". Loads of people would run around putting black material between the sun and the set. It eventually evolved into other stuff that goes in front of lights and now most commonly (in the UK at least), refers to patterns in profiles. In the US TV/Film industry, a Gobo is a piece of material used to mask or block light and a Cookie (short for Cucaloris(from the Greek kukaloris the breaking up of light)) is the same as a UK Gobo.

Cookie
In the United States and Canada, a cookie (or cooky) is a small, round, flat cake. In most English-speaking countries outside North America, the most common word for this is biscuit; in many regions both terms are used, while in others the two words have different meanings—a cookie is a plain bun in Scotland, while in the United States a biscuit is a kind of quick bread not unlike a scone.
