Correct answer: (A) Cookies
Explanation

Cookies are small text files a website stores in the browser to recognise a returning visitor.

They hold data such as login state, preferences and cart items, improving the browsing experience.

Bookmarks are saved links to web pages for quick return, not data files that identify users.

Blogs are regularly updated online journals of posts, a form of web content.

Wikis are collaboratively edited websites where many users add and revise pages.

First-party cookies belong to the visited site while third-party cookies come from other domains, often for advertising.
