What is... a Cookie? Has these innocent beings lost their true meaning over time? I would say so, since it had gone so far beyond what I've wanted those Cookies to be in the near future, if it weren't for the Bloatware.

Brief description
Looking further back, what are they...? Cookies are, well... data! Small pieces of data. They're basically everywhere, and are often stored in web browsers. It's possible that the Cookie Factory could be a component of one or more browsers installed in the user's computer (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Puffin, etc.) that produce Cookies to store all kinds of information that the user has, from passwords to payment card numbers galore! But sometimes, they can get snatched by loggers, corruptions or worse case scenario: Petit-Beurres.

Common variants
Speaking of which, let's cover the oh so common variants of Gingerbread cookie in the Dataverse. This excludes (some) alternates, ranks or otherwise specialties such as sugar, chocolate chip, etc.


 * Petit-Beurre Cookies, as you may suggest, is the most common Corruption Cookie to exist besides the Primaries, Secondaries and Tertiaries that exist along them. These cookies generally pose no harm, but is a threat commonly used by other corruptions, more notably Spyware, Adware, Trojans, malicious extensions, RATs and even more, as they directly track and steal stored data and send it to them. They are also summoned as tasked by a foreign attacker to steal login credentials to impersonate a login process. Typically, there are benevolent variants of Petit-Beurre such as 3IPB Cookies that reside in the Govern computer.
 * Glitter Ball Cookies, commonly known as magic cookies by the citizens of the Dataverse, commonly resided in buildings that 'belonged' to, or otherwise related to Courier. They were less of value compared to the average Cookie, but they created tokens and packets that contained very little data that were sent to another Courier from another computer, which would make them profitable for sending and receiving messages to and from other computers.
 * Third-Party Cookies, another variant of Cookie, is specifically designed by third-parties, and/or moreso Adware, to carry over their information to on-coming clients via their user activity to promote market products and services. Sometimes, they are paired with Petit-Beurre Cookies, which can make them especially dangerous, since they can also be served as tracking cookies if it were the case.
 * Persistent Cookies are tougher variants of Cookie, having to remain in operation even when the web browser is absent. Nonetheless, they still keep the same information as a normal Cookie would.
 * Super Cookies, or Flash Cookies, can come in various sizes much like the average Cookie, but on the other hand, these Cookies are more resistant. Though their behavior can be regarded as pseudo-malicious in a way, Super Cookies can also be independent from the web browser and stored onto your device indefinitely. There are very few ways to remove them from your computer, however keep in mind that they can also become practically undying; a state of posthumousness known as Zombie cookies.
 * They are also the closest thing you can get to a "Cookie titan", besides anthro cookies, Nannies/Pappies, and dainties.
 * Chipster Cookies are Cookies that are derivatives from web browsers that consume unnecessary amounts of data to run properly (i.e. Google Chrome). They usually carry seriously large amounts of information, and functions/behaves like a normal Cookie. They are usually compressed or removed manually, or via Half-Moon Cookies.
