A cookie in Java Web Application:-
It is used to store application data under the browser cookies folder which can be used to store application information in the client machine. cookie always will be created into client machine and use system memory but session always will be created by server-side and use server memory to contain application but by default session data also managed by cookie.

Java provides a cookie class to store information under the cookie. cookie syntax is common for JSP and Servlet.
Set data on Cookie Folder:-
Cookie ref = new Cookie("key","value");
response.addCookie(ref);
ref.setMaxAge(time);
Get data from the cookie folder
Cookie arrayname[] = request.getCookies();
Example of Cookie to set and Get data:-
response.addCookie(ref);
ref.setMaxAge(time);
Get data from the cookie folder
Cookie arrayname[] = request.getCookies();
Example of Cookie to set and Get data:-
1) Create a JSP Web page:-
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store");
response.setHeader("Expires","0");
response.setDateHeader("Expires",-1);

String uname="";
String upass="";
