title: cookies and desktop application
body: <p>As I know, websites send cookies to browsers for maintaining some state and browser stores it locally. When that website is visited again, browser sends those cookies back to the website as a part of the request. I am under the impression that cookie is a browser-specific thing. I wanted to get this understanding clarified. Can desktop applications which connect to web services support cookies?</p>
  
  <p>We have a web application and we are trying to setup communication from desktop applications such as Adobe apps. For session management I was wondering if we can write an auth token in a cookie if that is supported by desktop apps.</p>
