Cookies and Temporary Internet Files are two different things. Cookies contain information you have provided when you visited a site. So when you re-visit the site, it can save you having to re-enter the information. There are utilities which allow you to delete these selectively. Temporary Internet Files are locally stored copies of pages you have visited, and are intened to save time downloading a page you have visited previously. With today's broadband speeds, it's hardly worth having such pages stored, and so it usually pay to get rid of them, and recover the disk space. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris Hallsworth Sent: 01 August 2008 19:08 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Internet cookies and files Hi, you should only delete your temporary internet files etc if you plan to, for example, not use the site regularly. You see, temporary internet files include cookies, small text files that holds information to the site hosting the cookie(s). The information can include log in and password, for example.
