Cookie Clicker is an incremental game that was developed in 2013 by a French programmer by the name of Julien "Orteil" Thiennot. The user begins by clicking on a large cookie that appears on the screen, and they are rewarded with one cookie for each click they make. After that, they are able to use the cookies they have earned to make purchases of assets such as "cursors" and other "buildings" that automatically produce cookies. Upgrades are also available, and they can boost the effectiveness of the user's clicks and structures, in addition to numerous other game features that enable the user to earn cookies in a variety of different ways. Despite the fact that there is no conclusion to the game, it contains hundreds of milestones, and players can strive to accumulate a certain quantity of cookies at each milestone.

A loyal following has developed for the game. Cookie Clicker undergoes consistent revisions, despite the fact that the initial version was written in a single night. It has received widespread criticism for being labelled as addicting, and some people attribute its development to the phenomenon of "idle gaming."
