You do often see on the services, when are authorized on the forum or social network, checkbox and the words "Remember me" next to it? At least for the first time you enter the login and password, put that check and "On a wonder!" Site the next day you know yourself and authorizes. Probably wondering how he does it. Pretty simple. It works "cookies", ie a cookie.The term "Cookie" is derived from the English word «cookie» - biscuits. Cookies are a small text file whose name ends with the information that resides in your computer program site. If you are using a browser Internet Explorer, the cookie files, you can find in the folder: «C: \ Documents and Settings \ username \ Cookies». While walking there is not necessarily - the contents of their understandable only programs. In other browsers place may be different.
Works the same system as follows. Program site puts on your computer is a text file with data and the next time your browser sends it to the appropriate site, while trying to open it on a Web page. Program site compares it with available information and automatically authenticate to the service or supplements the information about you in its database. Also, cookies are used for authenticating users and keeping statistics and personal settings for a particular user.
Often, cookies pose not only to services where you are officially registered, but also various services counter, commercial systems that are installed on site and many others. Some services simply will not let you work with them as long as you will not be allowed cookies in your browser. If you are earning while browsing the Internet, the clients whom you send to the affiliate link, the script affiliate program remembers it with cookies.
Just make a reservation, that by themselves, these files do nothing. They only contain data that needed services for authentication and user authentication. However, if your cookie files will be stolen from your computer or intercepted during a session, connect the browser to the site, it is quite possible that an attacker could log into your account on the service.
Cookies can be placed, as on all the time, and for some limited time. It is even possible that only when connecting to the site, and possibly for years. And if you do not periodically clean cookies, they are present and accumulate in the system prior to its reinstallation. If you work for someone else's computer, it is best to log off authorization on service, click on the button "Exit" or "Close". In this case, cookies must be threadbare and the next time will have to log in manually.
By the way this was a joke, when at my computer, sometimes worked as a sister. As a result, when you come to the site "VKontakte", then either it appeared in my account I have it. No privacy, e-May:)) And had to be total-just press the button "Exit".
Consider, for what do to clean cookies and how to do it.
The need to clean all cookies or a single site may appear in the following cases:
- Just to clear the PC from garbage. But then need to re-authorization at all sites where you came automatically.
- To protect your accounts on the network from outside access. While this is quite enough to go not just closing your browser, and through the button "Exit".
- If suddenly your favorite forum began to appear in unaccustomed form, for example in the tree. You must delete cookies and visit a particular site and log on the new.
- If you get tired of that system of contextual advertising on various websites show your ad on one theme. For example, when you looked for a long sports sites, and then moved to movies, but you will still twist advertisements about football. That will show behavioral advertising, for example, Google officially announced at the beginning of last year.
- You want to take a discount for buying on-line, but the seller has established deadline. This is the time for which you can purchase the product at a discount. For example, the site "Antichaynik" Konstantin Fest - this time is 15 minutes. If you have a desire to buy such a product at a discount, then simply delete cookies and restart the map a connection to the Internet. By the way I still lose their partnership: (. If you are, of course, will not pass there again on the link from my site.

About cleaning cookies in time for me to receive an instructive story. I bought one of the electronic products and just remember that he went to the merchant site to the affiliate link from the mailing, which offered good bonuses from partner to buy. However, after the purchase I did not receive bonuses. And to the question from a partner, I registered, the seller said that I went directly. Do not believe in his words, I had no reason, then or now. And then I remembered that between the first visit and buy, I cleaned the cookies. So I remained without bonuses, and the person who sent me to sell a site without the partnership interest.
In general, cleaning cookies by users - is one of the major ills of working with affiliate programs to earn money on-line. But is some controversy in regard to the preservation of privacy and confidentiality of user data, which makes the controversy. Although full-fledged replacement for the simplicity and functionality cookies not yet invented.
