Cookie Basics...

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file sent to your computer by a website's computer (the server). Some cookies expire and vanish from your computer when you exit the site that set them. Some are persistent cookies that remain on your computer's hard drive for a predetermined time (say, 14 days) or, in some cases, for much longer (say, until you purge all cookies from your hard drive).


Are cookies used for spying? Are they an invasion of privacy?
In the early days of the Internet, cookies got a pretty bad rap, and many misconceptions about cookies persist. Therefore, it is important to note that the vast majority of cookies do nothing more than session tracking. That is, they tell a website that a user visited the site, clicked through to certain pages, stayed for a certain amount of time, etc. The website and its owners never know any personal information about the user, only that someone visited certain pages. Cookies are used in this fashion to monitor traffic so that the website owners know which pages get used, which pages get ignored, and the like. Feedback from this process helps site owners tailor and improve their sites.
After session tracking, probably the next most common function cookies serve is to help make Web browsing more convenient for the user. For example, if you go to your favorite online store, the site might display a message that seems tailored to you: "Welcome back, Jane Doe." When you purchase an item, the site may "remember" your shipping address from the last time you ordered.


What sort of information does a cookie contain?
Your internet service provider, operating system, browser type, screen resolution and number of colors, CPU type, your internet service provider's server, your IP address, and what server you were on last. Other information can be added to a cookie, but only information that you give to the site that's setting the cookie. Cookies don't contain truly sensitive data like credit card numbers.


Who uses cookies?
Most major sites on the web, including search engines, commercial sites, and non-profit sites use cookies. Many sites would be inconceivable without cookies, like free email providers or online stores that remember who you are so you don't have to re-type your address information each time you buy.


Why use cookies?
As mentioned above, cookies provide a range of services from helping Web site owners monitor traffic and usage on their sites to making online shopping easier for customers to remembering passwords. Cookies are also used to gather and store data like user hardware and software specifications (so, for example, a Web site owner can be assured that their online movie will work for you).


Can cookies be used to view the private contents of my computer?
No. Cookies cannot be used to view data on your computer. Cookies cannot be used to "go get stuff" from elsewhere on your computer, and cookies cannot change or delete files from your computer. Also: cookies are not computer viruses!
