    Re: Cookies

    Cookies - a mechanism to store the state information since http is a find and forget protocol. So there is no way for the web server to know what you did in the last transaction(last navigation). To achieve this cookies are used cache: is a mechanisom used by browser to store pages, images and certain elements of web pages you visited on your hard drive. Next time, you access the page, your browser brings elements from your cache. In ie 6.0 its your temporary internet files. Ps: cache in microprocessors are different

    Re: Cookies

    Cookies are small text files stored by server side application on client's system. Websites use cookies to pass information like browsing habits, customization details etc. between sessions. It is the only way to store data locally at client machine by web application/web sites. On Windows XP cookies are stored at c:\documents and settings\\cookies folder.

    eg. If you customize yahoo.com front page, next time you will get the same page as you customized it as the information is stored in a cookie. If you try from another system, you wont get your customization.
