Our Speaker
Lou Montulli, Co-Founder & CTO, JetInsight, Inventor of the web cookie.
Lou Montulli is known for developing foundational web technologies, including the HTTP cookie. He invented the cookie to enable new functionality on the Web while protecting user privacy. Contrary to his original intent, the technology was used to track users across domains. Montulli joined Netscape as a founding engineer and wrote the networking features for the first versions of that browser. He also invented the blink tag, server push, client pull, HTTP proxying, among others.
