cookies: good or bad?

[kojiro]

Are cookies good or bad? I delete cookies everytime surf the internet.

contrary to some people's opinions cookies aren't bad. They do nothing but store information for when you access a website. In fact they are good in some repects as they allow you to access things such as forums without having to log in everytime. How do you think a forums remembers you were here a day ago *smile*

The only bad thing is the clutter up a folder or two on your hard drive. I personally clean mine out every now and then (maybe once a month or so), but for the most part couldn't care less that they are there

cookies are bad because not everyone allows them so you can't rely on them in your code

cookies are good because I don't have to remember my password to add this message

The only cookie I want is the cookie for this forum. Unfortunately, I can't block out all the other ones...

Newly baked, still warm cookies are good with cold milk
Too many and too much milk makes your tummy wanna burst. That's bad.

cookies really dont do anything and you can get a program to stop them if you want. all they do is tell sites that you have been there once but not that many sites have cookies.

I think you should delete them just to be sure.

I don't delete them because I don't want to screw up all the stuff I've read on these forums. But then again, they screw up by themselves.
