[citw150] CITW 150 L3 Q5

The subject I chose to write about is internet cookies. A cookie is something 
that is placed in your computers memory from a particular web site. Next time 
you visit that web site, they access that cookie and it gives them the 
information they stored from the last time you were there. Whether it be 
something you bought, looked at, or just when you logged in, they make web 
surfing much more personalized. Some people don't like them, citing that they 
don't want information about them being kept without them knowing, but there is 
an option to turn it off. In my opinion, ignorance is no excuse and people 
should know to take preventative measures before entering information on the 
internet.
