Hey friends , it is now mid night . I feel hungry . It will be better if I can eat something like cookies . Which type of cookies do you like ?? But I prefer spicy and salty type to sweet .
Well , I am kidding with you . I am feeling black now that which topic I will select for completing my writing . At the same time , I feel hungry too . So this word came to my mind . Yes , I want to write about Internet cookies . I don’t know how much I can write because my eyes are trying to distract me . My roommates asked me that how many times I used pc and phone . Truly , Almost 14+ hours , I use electronics devices . I think , except my sleeping time , I use them .
Anyway , So when I try to visit many pages for my study purpose or entertainment purpose , I get notifications from websites to get permission to keep cookies . Sometimes , I just try to avoid them by cutting but What do you do ??
Unfortunately unlike our real cookie , Internet cookie is a text string which is stored into user local storage by a website to make communication easier . Hey do you want to see this cookie?
If you use internet Explorer for browsing, then you can see cookies easily .Chrome user can also see their cookies from C:/Documents and Settings\<user name > \local settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cookies and for Firefox browser , it stores cookies in a text file but you can see : C:\Documents and Settings\Windows login\User name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Profile folder .
Ok , One cookie can store comparatively smaller date to larger data . Smaller simple cookie just stores one user Id . But for complex cookie , it can be stored user id , session id, time for session initiation or others some valuable data including login data.
Naturally cookies are of two types
- Session cookie
- Persistent cookie
What is session cookie, you can understand that the time when a user browsing the site. It stores current information like main user id . It will be erased after closing the browser .
Persistent cookies are those that stays in your PC even after the browser is shut. You have to delete them manually or they are removed after predefined expiration times .
Some other types of cookies , we can see like
– First party cookies ( Not first choice cookie which is my favorite one 😛 ) which is generated from visited sites including relevant information .
-Third party cookies which are generated by advertising website for example double click dart cookie of google.,
-Threats from Cookies which are increasing at a risky rate with the increasing of malicious programs ,adwares, malwares etc. But using better antivirus and firewall can deleted them .
I should stop it here . Inshallah , I will try to write further .
But do not forget to mention your favorite cookies ??
May Allah bless you .
Allah hafez .
