[citw150] Lesson 3 Question 6

I researched the issue of internet cookies.  Cookies are pieces of
information stored on your computers that are sent out when requested by a
particular web server.  They can contain different things, name, settings,
preferences, passwords, and credit card numbers.  These are ok when used for
the proper intent.  The cookie is only supposed to be released to the
appropriate website for the retrieval of your information.  The bad part is
that they have found ways to track your internet surfing habits, spending
habits and financial information.  The other problems I have with cookies
are that disabling them in your web browser can cause certain sites not to
function.
