Explanation

Phishing works by sending legitimate-looking emails that trick targets into revealing sensitive details.

Hacking is the act of gaining unauthorized access to a system, account or network.

Spam is unsolicited email sent in bulk over the internet to recipients on a mailing list.

Cookies are small files or codes stored on a user's computer to remember browsing activity.

Phishing is a deception technique while hacking is a technical intrusion, so the two differ in method.

Cookies themselves are harmless storage, unlike phishing which is a fraud attempt.
