Help With Cookies
|
|  |
What is a cookie?
| |
A cookie is a very small text file placed on your hard drive by a Web page server. It is
essentially your identification card, and cannot be executed as code or deliver
viruses. It is uniquely yours and can only be read by the server that gave it to
you.
|
|
| |
What does a cookie do?
| |
In this case, a cookie helps the server remember who you are so you can log on
and access your member pages. Without cookies, the server thinks you are a new
visitor all the time, and thus cannot validate you as a logged on member.
|
|
| |
How can I control what cookies I accept?
|
You can order your browser to accept all cookies or to alert you every time a
cookie is offered. Then you can decide whether to accept one or not.
If you're using Internet Explorer 4.0:
1. Choose View, then
2. Internet Options
3. Click the Advanced tab
4. Scroll down to the yellow exclamation icon under Security and choose one
of the three options to regulate your use of cookies.
In Internet Explorer 3.0, you can View, Options, Advanced and click on the
button that says Warn Before Accepting "Cookies."
If you're using Netscape Communicator 4.0:
On your Task Bar, click:
1. Edit, then
2. Preferences, then
3. Click on Advanced
4. Set your options in the box labeled "Cookies."
How to See Cookies You've Accepted:
If you're using Internet Explorer 4.0
On your task bar, click:
1. View, then
2. Internet Options
3. Under the tab General (the default tab) click
4. Settings, then
5. View Files.
Internet Explorer 3.0
On your Task Bar, click:
1. View, then
2. Options, then
3. Advanced, then
4. View Files.
Netscape Communicator 5.0:
Netscape bundles all cookies into one file on your hard drive. You'll need to
find the file, which it calls Cookie.txt on Windows machines.
How to See the Code in a Cookie:
Just click on a cookie to open it. You'll see a short string of text and numbers.
The numbers are your identification card, which can only be seen by the
server that gave you the cookie.
