Man, just in General familiar with the use of resources of global network Internet, at first glance it may seem that, except for the annoying ads on sites no peculiarities: the selected program for viewing pages (web browser) sends requests, and the distant servers return the response.

It is actually a bit more complicated and there are some features that significantly extends the scheme “request / response”. One of them – is cookies (cookies). They are small files of size 4 KB that contains specific text information. Often users are not even aware that their browser is actively using cookies. When accessing the online user client to the server, the latter sends to the computer a special file-cookies. It contains information allowing to identify the user. In the future, every new connection to this resource begins with sending the browser to the server of such file. As a result, the user comes to the website under your login/password, but the page is displayed exactly as it was configured during your previous visit. Here is an example with the site TV-programs: visitor registers and selects the list of displayed channels. If the server assumes the use of cookies when you visit this website next time will only see the selected channels. In fact the possibilities are much wider, but their overview is beyond the scope of this article.

Again, these small files contain information allowing to identify the visitor, it is quite clear why a frequently asked question “How to clear cookies?”. If the computer is in sole use, of such security could hardly be more straightforward. But if possible, access to the system by third parties they have an opportunity to go to the sites using the data stored in the cookie. The user who does not know how to clear cookies or not fulfilled in a timely manner this operation is in danger of making purchases from his account and some other troubles, such as viewing all visited pages. It is obvious that security should not be forgotten.
