The tiny program that Books Inc. puts on their clients' computers to track visits to their site is called a cookie. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored on a user's computer by a website to customize their experience on the site. A web bug is a transparent graphic image that can be used to track website activity, but it is not the same as a cookie. Crackers are individuals who attempt to breach computer security systems, and a biscuit is another term for a cookie but is not typically used in the context of website tracking.
