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). Syn.
magic cookie; see also fortune cookie. Now mainstream in the specific sense
of web-browser cookies.
