In this post we'll summarize how cookies are used to gather information about you and what you can do to minimize this invasive monitoring.

SmartScreen helps protect you in three ways: As you browse the web, it analyzes pages and determines if they might be suspicious. If it finds suspicious pages, SmartScreen will display a warning page, giving you an opportunity to provide feedback and advising you to continue with caution. That warning comes from Internet Explorer when part of your site is secure, (the URL begins with https) and some of the content comes from a non-secure area. You usually see the https when signed in to edit mode. You should click 'Yes' when you see the warning.

Mention 'cookies' and most people expect a chocolate chip treat to appear. When talking about computers, however, cookies aren't on the dropdown menu. In fact, they're not even physical objects. Yet they do a great deal of the work that makes it more convenient for you to browse the Internet — and they can be troublesome if you don't know how to clear or delete cookies.

A computer 'cookie' is more formally known as an HTTP cookie, a web cookie, an Internet cookie or a browser cookie. The name is a shorter version of 'magic cookie,' which is a term for a packet of data that a computer receives and then sends back without changing or altering it.

No matter what it's called, a computer cookie consists of information. When you visit a website, the website sends the cookie to your computer. Your computer stores it in a file located inside your web browser. (To help you find it, this file is often called 'Cookies.')

What do browser cookies do?

The purpose of the computer cookie is to help the website keep track of your visits and activity. This isn't always a bad thing. For example, many online retailers use cookies to keep track of the items in a user's shopping cart as they explore the site. Without cookies, your shopping cart would reset to zero every time you clicked a new link on the site. That would make it difficult to buy anything online!

A website might also use cookies to keep a record of your most recent visit or to record your login information. Many people find this useful so that they can store passwords on frequently used sites, or simply so they know what they have visited or downloaded in the past.

Different types of cookies keep track of different activities. Session cookies are used only when a person is actively navigating a website; once you leave the site, the session cookie disappears. Tracking cookies may be used to create long-term records of multiple visits to the same site. Brave browser 80 1 4 96. Authentication cookies track whether a user is logged in, and if so, under what name.

Are Internet cookies safe?

Under normal circumstances, cookies cannot transfer viruses or malware to your computer. Because the data in a cookie doesn't change when it travels back and forth, it has no way to affect how your computer runs.

How to clear cookies in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and browsers

Computer cookies keep track of data for websites, but they also hold a host of personal information. Here's how to delete them.

However, some viruses and malware may be disguised as cookies. For instance, 'supercookies' can be a potential security concern, and many browsers offer a way to block them. A 'zombie cookie' is a cookie that re-creates itself after being deleted, making zombie cookies tough to manage. Third-party tracking cookies can also cause security and privacy concerns, since they make it easier for parties you can't identify to watch where you are going and what you are doing online.

Where to look to enable or delete cookies

Here's how to find and manage your cookies in order to protect your privacy online:

  1. Open your browser. Because cookies are stored in your web browser, the first step is to open your browser. Popular browsers include Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Internet Explorer.
  2. Find where cookies are stored. Each browser manages cookies in a different location. For example, in Internet Explorer, you can find them by clicking 'Tools' and then 'Internet Options.' From there, select 'General' and 'Browsing history' and 'Settings.' In Chrome, choose 'Preferences' from the Chrome menu in the navigation bar, which will display your settings. Then expand the 'Advanced' option to display 'Privacy and security.' From there, open 'Content settings' and 'Cookies.'
  3. Manage your cookies. Every browser gives you a range of options for enabling or deleting cookies. Internet Explorer, for instance, allows you to manage cookies under 'Privacy' and 'Advanced.' In Chrome, find where cookies are stored as outlined above, then select your management options under 'Cookies.'

Banning all browser cookies could make some websites difficult to navigate. However, a setting that controls or limits third-party and tracking cookies can help protect your privacy while still making it possible to shop online and carry out similar activities.
