Following
the strange tradition of naming Internet functions after food (Spam,
Java, cracker), cookies are unobtrusive little bits of information
that slip onto your hard drive, essentially without your knowledge,
and track where and what you've done on a particular Web site. Cookies
are useful when it comes to sites that require registration (the
cookie stores your data so you don't have to remember yet another
password) or with configurable sites (the cookie is used to keep
track of what interests you most so the site can present that information
first). |
