A cookie bomb is the capability of **adding a large number of large cookies to a user** for a domain and its subdomains with the goal that the victim will always **send large HTTP requests** to the server (due to the cookies) the **server won't accept the request**. Therefore, this will cause a DoS over a user in that domain and subdomains.
