Further Information

There are many myths and misconceptions about cookies. These myths arose in the late 1990's when people misunderstood some key facts, and widespread hysteria arose based on a fear that cookies are able to "track your Internet usage." Unfortunately, cookies became synonymous with privacy violation due to the abuses of certain banner-advertising companies. These abuses allowed the centralized banner-advertising company to possibly correlate visits between their affiliated sites only.

Alarmists clamored, and the myth that "cookies can track your Internet usage anywhere" was born. A simple understanding of the technology shows that this is simply not true, but the damage was done, and now the broken advice to "disable cookies" in order to "increase your privacy" is widely promulgated.

So what are cookies?

A cookie is a simple passive token that a web site can use to store snippets of data, typically personalized user settings, on a user's machine. They are very safe. The way people fear them, you'd think that cookies are secret agents which somehow spy on you when, in fact, a cookie is just an inert text file, a token with no provision for executable code or script whatsoever. Since it is passive, there is no way for the cookie to gather or store any information from the browser/client that the web site server or browser Javascript could not already possess.

Many of the best web sites depend on cookies; disabling them may make your web browsing experience less enjoyable. Cookies are associated with the domain name of the website that created them—one website cannot read the cookies stored by another. Cookies also vanish after a certain amount of time—their expiration date—passes.
