Managing cookies

Web sites can collect and store information about the users who browse their site 
with a function known as a “cookie.” A cookie is information saved on your 
computer’s hard drive that sends information back to the originating Web server 
which uses that information to track your identity and browsing habits. Cookies 
enable the Web site to personalize your browsing session according to your past 
preferences, and generally make navigating the Web site or purchasing items 
easier.

A Web site is said to be “serving cookies” if it places a cookie file on your 
computer’s hard drive. When you browse through the site, the cookie is returned 
with the information about your movements to the Web server. In this case, the 
workstation is said to be “returning cookies.”

The way cookies are managed on your hard drive depends on the Web browser 
you use. For example, Netscape Navigator uses a single cookie file (cookie.txt) 
that is modified when a cookie is set. Microsoft Internet Explorer manages 
individual cookie files in a directory.

Cookies cannot read anything from a computer’s hard drive and cannot perform 
any functions that compromise a user’s computer. You can usually block cookies 
to improve cache efficiency and privacy without affecting Web site access.
