Re: Christmas Cookies????????

Ok, I don't want to get all serious here especially since it's New Year's Eve but don't you think it would be worth it if they were able to catch would-be terorists before they committed a crime against humanity? Isn't that worth a few special cookies....without a recipe?

Re: Christmas Cookies????????

I do not want to harsh the buzz of New Years at all

I just needed some clarification that what I heard was really what is happening?

Re: Christmas Cookies????????

Let me explain cookies. Cookies are only put on your computer when you visit particular sites. For example: your bank will put a cookie on your maching to hole your login id, to "remember" it for your next login. All a cookie is, is a small text file with a bit of information in it, name, date, a value, and expiration date, and sometimes a bit of other information. You can actually view it if you look in your temp internet folder (the numeric data is packed so it's not visible). But they are limited to what they can store.

Now there are two different types of cookies, persistent, and session.

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. These cookies could keep track of what pages you've visited, or maybe what's in your shopping cart. But when you exit out of your browser they go away.

Persistent cookies have an expiration date that is in the future. These are the types of cookies that could hold a login id, or some other bit of information, like what page of a site you want to start on.

Now it looks like the NSA had some cookies that were not set to expire when they were supposed to. This does not mean that they are tracking your every move. If you have never gone to the NSA site then you would have never had one of their cookies downloaded to your machine. They CANNOT just add cookies to machines randomly unless they had access to the source code of every website out there.

So finally there is no conspiracy. I hate it when ignorant news people report a story without knowing how things actually work. It causes consternation and propogates ignorance. And lastly you could always just delete the cookie. Problem solved.
