WHAT ARE COOKIES??

CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT ARE COOKIES AND HOW I CAN USE COOKIES IN MY PROGRAMMES??

See http://www.cookiecentral.com/
The FAQ section probably has enough information to get going.
As for using them in an app... Google for cookies, sessions and servlets and I'm pretty sure there will be a document containing information on how sessions are implements using cookies (one of the main uses of cookies in webapps)

  • What are Cookies for ?

    Hi everyone,
    I am doing java on my own and curretly am at Servlets. I have studies Cookies but some concepts are still unclear.
    1. Why do we use a cookie ?
    2. What kind of data we generally store ?
    3. Why can we store only one value in the cookie ?
    4. Can anyone directly retrieve the value from a cookie ?

  • I need to see what is in a cookiefile, where are cookies stored?

    I need to know where are cookie files stored, so I can study what is inside them(cookiefile).

    Hi pasmark,
    You should take a look at the article [[Deleting cookies]]. It will show you how to view, manage, and delete cookies in Firefox.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • What are the advantages and disadvantages to cookies?

    Ok, so I am required to interview some expert for a Final in college. I choose to do my final on cookies throughout the different browsers. The downside is that it is nearly impossible to get a one-on-one interview from an expert in this field. This is my next option. So here are my questions, and I greatly appreciate the help.
    1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of cookies?
    2. Where are the cookies stored, and is it possible for someone to access that information?
    3. You hear horror stories of hackers accessing the different cookies saved on a person's computer, and from there gradually piecing together enough information about that person, to hack into nearly every account they have. How probable is this? What safeguards can a person take against this happening?
    Once again, thank you for any help received.

    I attended uni back in the 70's, and as I recall we had to do some actual research for our term papers - like from books in the library, and needed to "document" our research in a footnote for each page.
    I guess times have changed a bit since then I guess - anecdotal evidence is permissible now?

  • What are these Business Catalyst Cookies?

    Our clients are currently (understandably) twitchy about the new EU Cookie Regulations coming in to force on the 26th of May 2012.
    We have audited a clients site to find the same 6 cookies set on each page, however we can find no guidance about what these cookies are or what they are being used for.
    We need clarification on these 4 persistent cookies, what are they used for?
    ANONID_FS294455 365 days
    VID294455 365 days
    ANONID294455 365 days
    VISID294455 Less than one day
    These 2 session cookies can probably be discounted for now but it would be helpful to know why they are set and what they are used for:
    DeviceClass Date not set
    ASP.NET_SessionId Date not set
    Many thanks

    Hi Mhairi,
    I've just found this post while doing a search for another cookie related document. Given the time frame, I assume you have found the answer you are looking for so I'm replying here for anyone else that may come across this post.
    You can see a full list of cookies used on BC (as of 27/8/2012) here - Business Catalyst Cookies - Quick reference

  • Clearing cookies, cache and what are plug ins?

    Greetings,
    I followed a post here from SANIBEL explaining how to successfully clear my cache. Then to clean out the cookies under the Security tab of Preferences by clicking on REMOVE ALL WEBSITE DATA. I then clicked on DETAILS and see that there are still lots of "PLUG-INS" there. Is it necessary to also remove them, i.e. will they also perhaps contribute to interference and if so, must I remove them manually?

    Those are cookies you see not plug-ins.
    Root and user plug-ins are stored in:     /Library/Plug-Ins   and    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Plug-ins or extensions are add ons that can enhancet the way you use a browser.
    This is how to clear the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.

  • Safari, "Private Browsing" - why are cookies saved?

    I normally use Private Browsing out of habit on all my computers using Safari but I do have a few questions on it -
    Why are cookies saved even when "private browsing"? go to one genealogy site that requires membership and the cookies from that site are always present in my cache. Are pages also being saved in the page cache as well?
    What is so "private" if info can be assembled?

    HI Jim,
    This from the Safari Help Menu:
    About cookies
    A cookie is a small file created by a website to store information. The cookie is stored on your computer. Cookies are normally helpful and harmless; it’s rare to encounter a bad cookie.
    When you visit a website that uses cookies, the site asks Safari to put cookies on your computer. When you return to the site later, Safari sends back the cookies that belong to the site. The cookies tell the site who you are so that the site can show you information that’s appropriate for you.
    Cookies can store information that identifies you, such as your name and email address. A website has access only to the information you provide. For example, a website can’t determine your email address unless you provide it. A website can’t gain access to other information on your computer.
    When you use the default cookie preferences in Safari, you won’t know when Safari is accepting or sending cookies.
    You can change your cookies preferences so that Safari doesn’t accept cookies or accepts them only from limited sources.

  • HAPPY NEW YEAR and what to cook ?

    I've noticed that the newspapers and news programs on TV ( if you can call them news programs ).. are already gearing up for the never ending barrage of
    " THE YEAR IN PICTURES "   OR
    " THE YEAR OF BREAKING NEWS "
    OR
    You know, the scramble of producers trying to capture the past year of their best stories and live coverage of stuff...
    Is really cheap to produce...and fills up lots of columns and time slots....YIPEE !
    So while I turned off the YULE LOG I am now looking forward to the BARF BAG ....as I am reminded of all the retarded stories of the past year and how the media made it great.
    Like when Lady Ga Ga wore that scary snake costume at the " TV AWARD DINNER FOR REPTILES " event in NOLA last June ?
    So what are we gonna eat for the new year celebration ? Or is it just gonna be BEER THIRTY ! YIPEE !
    for that matter, what are we gonna DRINK ! ??  I don't know about YOU but after a few drinks I don't even care that mayor bloomberg turns the new year celebration into a billy joel " new york state of mind ".

    just finished first steak on skillet... yum....
    however I screwed up slightly...and can easily fix that next time...
    Shooter.. the skillet is " ribbed "...so that it has raised ridges that the meat sits on... so it isn't a " pan " ...it isn't FLAT....it's ribbed....like a grill...where only the raised parts touch the meat.
    Soooo, when you put salt in the thing it sits in the valleys ....and does NOT TOUCH THE MEAT....no salt touches the meat...before or during or after cooking...
    So that's one thing...
    thanks for the heads up about that though, cause I know what you mean.... you wouldn't believe the gazillion recipes and methods I've researched in the past few days about this...
    I know more about SALT now also, than I ever wanted to know .
    And the 3-4 mintute thing... ( this is rib eye boneless about 1.5 - 2 inches thick )...that was too long...
    It's tricky cause I pre heated the skillet....at high.. then turned heat to medium ....where basically the entire skillet including handles were HOT and the thing started so smoke slightly ( very slight ).... Put steak on, turned after 3 min and then left for another 3 min...and then stuck a fork in the top..and some red juice came out...so I screwed up at this point... I turned it OVER again...thinking it was rare....for about 30 seconds.....what a stupid mistake...
    It ended up , in that 30 secs... I got plate, fork and came back to oven and put it on plate... 30 secs...and it was medium in middle instead of medium rare the way I like it....
    I was a jerk.
    I think I can now adjust a couple things re: the level of heat at beginning and the time....but it's pretty darn close.. I mean, like 30 secs made a HUGE difference....
    The other thing that I screwed up on ... is I put the salt in grooves to much... it wasn't touching the meat.. but it did make the meat salty.  Not terrible... I mean, the steak was really yummy...very good... but it can be " better "...
    I have to put about half the amount of salt in the valleys....so when the juice goes onto skilliet the salt makes the juice sorta vaporize and go back into meat...but I used too much salt..
    I'm halfway or more to being where I wanna be with it and it did taste really good.. but it was medium in middle ( grrrr ) and also it was a little salty ( grrrrr ).
    I'll make another one tomorrow....same bat time, same bat channel !
    thanks for your help !

  • I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I haven't used it in years, but I would like to start. What are my options for getting it up to date? Is it even worth the trouble/cost? I was hoping to at least get it running Snow leopard, if not Lion. Options?

    I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I would like to start using it again, however it is so out of date and runs too slowly. What are my options to update it? I really don't want to invest a ton of money - I might as well get a new one, so if there are any reasonable ways to get it to run Snow Leopard or even Lion, please help. I've also considered using a mac mini? Is that worth it either? I'm not sure which way to go here. I don't want to trash it, I feel like it can be a great computer if updated.

    Presumably it is running tiger 10.4.11?
    It may be able to run Leopard 10.5:
    Leopard system requirements:

    But that is as far as the old PPC Macs can go, and Leopard can cost up to $200 on Amazon.

  • What are the pro alternatives to Compressor?

    I've been compressing a lot of material recently, mostly shot on DVCPRO HD and edited on FCP. What's been happening is that some - but surprisingly not all dissolves - are breaking up into pixels or rather blocks of pixels. The problem, as I've recently found out, has been documented here so I won't waste anyone's time agonizing over it. I'll just say that using Compression Master, Sorenson Squeeze and bitVice produced artifacts free files right off the bat.
    What's infuriating about the Compressor is that every time I try to test a short piece from the middle of the sequence, it compresses fine but then when the whole 20 min sequence is compressed the problem comes back.
    I've tried CBR, closed GOP, IP structure etc as suggested in one of the posts and it did get rid of the pixelation but I'm still not happy with the results. The picture looks a bit soft and washed out. Shockingly comparable to a well compressed random, internet downloaded DivX file that I can play on the same player. Is it the Compressor, DVDSP or the true nature of the DVCPRO HD format showing its ugly face?
    What are the professional MPEG encoders that could save me all that headache? I'd rather pay good money and finally get it done right than spend my time beta testing software that is clearly not ready for the prime time.
