Misfortune Cookies

What’s in a Cookie?

Netscape corporation, early pioneers of the world-wide web (www), created web browser “cookies” as a means for allowing web sites to offer enhanced services to their users. “Cookies” allow you to roam around advanced web sites such as eBay and Amazon while remaining “known” to the web server.

“Cookie” is a software programming term referring to a unique token that isn’t in itself particularly meaningful, but which can be used to uniquely identify some other entity to which it has been assigned. In the case of a web browser, once a browser has received and accepted a site’s “cookie” token, that browser can be uniquely identified in the future by the cookie token it carries.

Unless it is configured not to, a web browser will always accept any cookie offered to it by a cookie-enabled web site. It happens invisibly and without the user’s involvement, knowledge, or permission. And from that point on that unique cookie is typically used to uniquely identify that individual browser, user, and computer from all others on the Internet.

Therefore, ALL cookies ARE ultimately about identifying and TRACKING web browser contact. That’s what cookies are for. Anyone who is adamant about NEVER being identified from one web page to the next can, and perhaps should, COMPLETELY disable all web browser cookies. This is not difficult to do with Internet Explorer
