1) What exactly is a cookie (the ones in computer, not those u eat ;) )

2) Can I delete all my cookies in the computer? What effect will it have?

3) I heard that there're some site with cookie grabbers, what's a good way to prevent this, other than not going to the site? Does deleting all my cookies beforehand helps?

4) How can I tell whether the site got a cookie grabber ~other than knowing it, after getting cookies grabber by the site?

THANKS :)

1) cookies are files that 'remember' your password and username so that the next time you come to the board you don't have to sign in again

2) depends on what, if you are the only one who uses the computer it's better to leave them there. They don't take up that much space and if you delete them, you will have to sign in on every site that you used cookies for (for example this forum)

---------------------------

the other two questions are totally unknown for me, i have never heard about that. I would not worry too much about it...

Love,
