Cookies exist in the communication between the client (browser) and the server. When the server sends an HTTP response to the client, one or more Cookies can be created on the client by setting the "Set-Cookie" field of the response header.

Once the client receives an HTTP response that contains the "Set-Cookie" response header, it will save these cookies in a specific location in the browser. Specifically, cookies are stored in the "Cookie Storage" or "Cookie Folder" in the client's browser.

The browser automatically manages these cookies and sends them to the server on each subsequent request. Cookies are included in the "Cookie" field in the request header so that the server can identify and process information associated with a specific user.

It should be noted that different browsers store cookies in different locations and use different methods to store them. In addition, cookies can have different properties and restrictions, such as expiration time, domain name and path, etc.

In summary, Cookies exist in the client browser and transfer and store data between the client and the server through the relevant header fields of HTTP requests and responses.
