Question :I have heard about "cookies" and know
they have something to do with my Internet browser. I also know that I can block
cookies with some settings. What are cookies and why would I want to block them?
Answer: Cookies have, for some reason, gained a rather sinister image. But they really are simple and harmless. (Note that this question became so popular that HowStuffWorks now has a complete article on cookies.) A cookie is just one or more pieces of information stored as text strings on your machine. A Web server sends you a cookie and the browser stores it. The browser then returns the cookie to the server the next time the page is referenced. The most common use of a cookie is to store a user ID. For example, the cookie might containg the following string: ID=96352398 Amazon.com is one site that uses this technique. When you order a book, you fill out a form with your name and address. Amazon assigns you an ID, stores your information with that ID in its database on the server, and sends the ID to your browser as a cookie. Your browser stores the ID on your hard disk. The next time you go to Amazon, the ID is sent back to the server. The server looks you up by your ID and customizes the Web page it sends back to you. The page might say, "Welcome back, Joe Smith!"
