You can open your browser, set its language to Chinese, and find out they just use the English word "cookie" in Settings.

Thanks for all your feedback. That's what I thought of but wondered if you used more of a Chinese equivalent. Apparently not.

An explanation that "cookie"/"cookies" (the English words) are used in Chinese has already been given. But to give an idea of where and how this phrase is used:

1. It's staightforward to Baidu search for [`浏览器cookies`](https://www.baidu.com/s?wd=%E6%B5%8F%E8%A7%88%E5%99%A8cookies) = "browser cookies" and come up with many examples of this phrase being used in the context of browsers.
2. It can be found used in company privacy policies:

   > [Jingdong privacy policy](https://about.jd.com/privacy/)

We also say "Cookie(s)" actually, because in Chinese "Cookies" is "存储在用户本地终端上的数据" which is an explanation rather than a word, and it's too long.
