WHAT IS COOKIES ? CAN I BLOCK THEM !!!

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a piece of code which is used to authenticate a user on a website, In other words when ever you login to a website such as Facebook, Gmail, Orkut etc your browser assigns you a cookie which basically tells the browser that for how long the user should be logged it, Apart of authentication purpose a cookie can be used for variety of different purposes, If you would like to know more about cookie stealing kindly google it up.

 A very good tool to know the contents of your cookies is by using the shareware tool “Cookie Spy SE”. Cookie Spy SE is the complete manager for all those Cookies installed by web sites you visit.  An easy to use interface lets you delete and permanently block Spyware Cookies or allow the ones you want to keep such as those that remember who you are when you log in to a site.  Once a site is blocked you will never receive a Cookie from that site again.  The Filters Lists makes it easy to change and/or remove those you’ve blocked or allowed.

Some Cookies are harmless and in fact helpful but more sites and programs are using them now to get your email address, shopping habits and other personal details.  It’s not uncommon for computers to have hundreds and even thousands of Spy Cookies installed and most often when you delete them they’re installed again when you revisit the site.  Cookie Spy SE allows you to permanently block those you don’t want.
