Cookie - is data sent to your comp by webserver that
records your actions on certain websites. For e.g some site
remember ur username, passwd when you re-visit that site
again.
Cache - stores recently used info in a quickly accessed area
(generally hard-drive of your PC).Foir e.g - IE uses cache
to store pages, images, URLs of recently visited websits to
your sysytem's hard-drive.

Answer / sumant manda
Basic understanding which most of the interviewers expect is:
Cookie is something which is saved on browser related to
your credentials.
Cache is something which is saved in system (mostly in TEMP
folders) and is related to your recently accessed data from
server.

Answer / siri
A cache operates as a temporary storage area where
frequently accessed data can be stored for rapid access.
Once the data is stored in the cache, it can be used in the
future by accessing the cached copy rather than re-fetching
the original data.
A cookie can keep information in the user's browser until
deleted. If a person has a login and password, this can be
set as a cookie in their browser so they do not have to
re-login to your website every time they visit. You can
store almost anything in a browser cookie.

Cookies are relatively small amounts of data that a website saves to your computer while you are viewing a web page. Cookies usually contain information such as your user name or a saved password, so that the website can identify who you are when you return to the site later on. Usually any data in the cookie is encrypted or in a form only readable by that particular web page, so you don't have to worry about sensitive data being stored in your cookies (as long as the web site you visit is trusted). The cache is also a repository of saved data, but the cache stores any files needed to view a website (text, images, other media) so that the page load time is shorter if you happen to visit the page again in the future. For example, if I have a 1 MB image on my home page, it would be a hassle to load the image from the Internet again and again -- instead, the local copy of the image in the cache is loaded into the browser, making the overall load time a lot faster

Answer / deo ram yadav
cookies are small bits of files that store your session, and
other small data, its pretty much like a database in a
sense... while a cache is temporary storage for files used
by a program(typically a browser) to display items.... and
to get a quick access to pre-parsed files.....
your browser has to store the webpage, and all pictures,
video flash and those things on the cache so that it could
display it
while cookies, store only text based data about your
browsing stuff.. like passwords, number of pages visited,
session number, and so on.....
