The problem is that what we're attempting to explain is what kind of information is represented by the cookie. Saying that it's "text" only helps if the listener understands that this means "plain text" and what is meant by that term.
If you give me a piece of paper folded into a hat, do you get the hat back from me? Not if what we mean by "a piece of paper" is "the information contained in the writing on a piece of paper where each number corresponds to a particular symbol in a table".
- mmis1000 4y ago> corresponds to a particular symbol in a table". This part is also not the truth. The data on paper can be as simple as a serial number and valid signature. Take a real world example: concert ticket. Or digital example: jwt ticket. The paper with "something you don't care but they know" is a proper description in my opinion.
