Differences between Book Mark, Cookies,Cache,Browser History


Book Mark:

In the context of the World Wide Web, a bookmark is a locally stored Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). All modern web browsers include bookmark features. Bookmarks are called favorites or Internet shortcuts in Internet Explorer

Cookies:

A cookie is a small piece of text stored on a user's computer by a web Server. A cookie consists of one or more name-value pairs containing bits of information such as user preferences, shopping cart contents, the identifier for a server-based session, or other data used by websites.

Cache:
A cache operates as a temporary storage area where frequently accessed data can be stored for rapid access. Once the data is stored in the cache, it can be used in the future by accessing the cached copy rather than re-fetching or recomputing the original data.

Browser Hisory:

Browser history logs the date, time and web address of every page you have visited.
