/**
 * @brief This datatype is used to identify different connection over a single interface
 *        (like RMAP or I2C)
 * @details
 * To use this class, implement a communication specific child cookie which
 * inherits Cookie. Cookie instances are created in config/ Factory.cpp by calling
 * CookieIF* childCookie = new ChildCookie(...).´
 *
 * This cookie is then passed to the child device handlers, which stores the
 * pointer and passes it to the communication interface functions.
 *
 * The cookie can be used to store all kinds of information
 * about the communication, like slave addresses, communication status,
 * communication parameters etc.
