Note
A verb form born on the web: the verb behind it comes from the noun for an HTTP cookie, not the baked one, and means sending that small data file to a user or machine. It is transitive, so the visitor, user or browser follows as its object. The spelling adds -ing to the full stem and keeps the final e, and the same form works as a gerund, as in cookieing without consent.
