Computer-made Cookies Presented by Helal Lutfi

What is a Computer Cookie?  A small text file which contains a unique ID tag.  Placed on your computer by a website.  The website saves a complimentary file with a matching ID tag.  The name "cookie" comes from fortune cookie, because of the hidden information inside.

What is stored in this text file?  Various information can be stored, from pages visited on the site, to information voluntarily given to the site.  When you revisit the site days or weeks later, the site can recognize you by matching the cookie on your computer with the counterpart in its database.

Types of Cookies  Temporary cookies: stored temporarily in your browser's memory and are deleted as soon as you end the session by closing the browser  Permanent cookies: stored permanently on your computer's hard drive and, if deleted, will be recreated the next time you visit the sites that placed them there

Marketers can pass cookies to surfers on many sites, then recognize their unique ID tags whenever they visit one of the affiliated sites in order to log a comprehensive profile of the individuals’ surfing habits over a period of time. Sophisticated profiling programs then sort the data provided by the cookie to categorize the target in several different areas. Gender, race, income level, religious affiliation and even sexual orientation can all be determined by cookie profiling.
