thanxA Cookie is information that a Web site puts on your hard disk so that it can remember something about you at a later time. Typically, a cookie records your preferences when using a particular site. Using the Web’s Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), each request for a Web page is independent of all other requests. For this reason, the Web page server has no memory of what pages it has sent to a user previously or anything about your previous visits. A cookie is a mechanism that allows the server to store its own information about a user on the user’s own computer. You can view the cookies that have been stored on your hard disk (although the content stored in each cookie may not make much sense to you). The location of the cookies depends on the browser. Internet Explorer stores each cookie as a separate file under a Windows subdirectory. Netscape stores all cookies in a single cookies.txt fle. Opera stores them in a single cookies.dat file.
Cookies are commonly used to rotate the banner ads that a site sends so that it doesn’t keep sending the same ad as it sends you a succession of requested pages. They can also be used to customize pages for you based on your browser type or other information you may have provided the Web site. In the case of BigBlueBall, a cookie is generated if you decide check the “save password” box when logging on. Web users must agree to let cookies be saved for them, but, in general, it helps Web sites to serve users better.
Hi Don…welcome to the site…as one of the members I can say we’re happy to have you! Two things, one…this is really not a topic for Yahoo! Messenger Forum….there’s an off topic forum on the site PERFECT for your question (maybe someone might even more it there) the other thing, is that there is an edit function which is really cool on here and cuts down on too many posts. so your first post where you did not say what you wanted…you could just log in and make your corrections without having to post again. Many of us have made that same mistake in the past. (I think I even did it!) Anyway, get familiar with the site and you’ll see that there’s a place for everything! You’ll learn a lot here…I sure have…and I’m still learning!
