What does "Cookie: foo=bar" mean?

I see this code Cookie: foo=bar very often. What does it mean exactly? Is that some universal set for cookies?

This is demonstrating the syntax of the Cookie header by using the common "foo" and "bar" example variable/value names.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar

The terms foobar (/ˈfuːbɑːr/), or foo and others are used as placeholder names (also referred to as metasyntactic variables) in computer programming or computer-related documentation.[1] They have been used to name entities such as variables, functions, and commands whose exact identity is unimportant and serve only to demonstrate a concept.
