This was the original rationale for creating cookies and in general storing web content on the client side.
First. let me help you clarify.

Cookies are generally not "queried" by a server. Cookies are sent to the server with each page (that belong to the same cookie domain) as part of the standard HTTP request.

If you open any web dev tool, like Google Chrome Web Dev Tools (but it is the same with each major browser), you will see the cookies are sent with each page, not requested by the server.

Sorry, I just wanted to be technically correct.
