Why Clean Cookies?

Cookies represent an important and serious threat to online privacy:


  • Cookies can contain personal information, such as name, address, username and password.
  • Cookie theft is a common problem plaguing the online industry. Since cookies contain valuable personal information, your computer, servers and websites are frequently the target of cookie theft, especially if no proper security measures are in place.
  • Cookies track your online behavior. Cookies can be used for controversial purposes like tracking your online behavior. Although cookies are normally sent directly to the server from which they originated, a web page may contain images or other 3rd party components (such as advertisement banners), stored on different servers or domains with their own cookies. These cookies (aka third party cookies) are usually used by advertising companies to powerfully track users across multiple sites in order to assemble an online browsing profile and then to target users with online behavior based advertisement.
  • Your online behavior can be seen by anyone who has access to your PC. The standard format for a cookie name is your_username@your_visited_domain.com. Anyone gaining access to your computer can discover your browsing habits and visited sites by simply looking at your cookies file and its cookies list.

What are cookies?


HTTP cookies (aka web cookies, tracking cookies or simply cookies) are small pieces of information in text format, sent by a server to a web browser. Thereafter, they are sent back - normally unchanged - by the browser each time it accesses that server.

The cookies can be used for different purposes such as:


  • Authentication, allowing users to easily log into a website. They allow the website to know that the user is already authenticated, and therefore he has permission to access services or perform operations that are restricted to logged-out users.
  • Session tracking, to ensure that you are recognized when you move from page to page within one site and that any information you have entered is remembered.
  • Maintaining specific information about users such as site preferences or the contents of their electronic shopping carts.
  • Personalization, allowing websites to present personalized (for both design and functionality) pages based on users’ preferences.
  • Collecting demographic information, typically used by advertising companies, in order to produce often anonymous user profiles, which are then used to target advertising.


A different classification would split the cookies into two main categories:


  • Transient cookies (session cookies), active only during a browsing session.
  • Persistent cookies (permanent cookies, stored cookies), storing user identification information over an extended period.

Every time your browser access a Web site will leave behind some information about you, creating a trail across the Internet. This trail may include the name and IP address of your computer and also information about the operating system your PC is running, the web browser you are using, the URL of the page you accessed and the one of the page you were last viewing.

After being received from the server, the cookies are stored in the memory of your browser, making them quickly and readily available without re-transmission. However, for the persistent cookies, where their lifetime exceeds the browsing activity time, the browser will move them from memory into the hard drive, for storage. Each browser stores the cookies in its own specific storage area. This means that on a PC with multiple user accounts and using different browsers you will always have multiple sets of cookies, each one of them identifying a combination of user accounts and web browsers. Every time you launch your browser, it will read the cookies from disk, and every time you close it, they will be saved to disk. Whenever a cookie expires, it will be removed from the browser memory and it will be no longer saved to your hard drive.
