Abstract

A computer-implemented method for reducing cookie traffic in browser communication is provided. The method sends, by a browser to a domain, a first request resulting in a returned cookie. The returned cookie includes a category tag. The method adds the returned cookie to a set of cookies for the browser. The category tag of the returned cookie is added to a related category tag in a browser tag list. The method sends, by the browser to a server of the domain, a second request resulting in a returned list of required category tags. The method sends a selected cookie with a category tag relating to at least one required category tag of the list of required category tags for the server. The selected cookie is selected from the set of cookies and the category tag for the selected cookie occurs within the browser tag list.
