Tips
n Filter and remove Internet cookies.
There are good cookies and then there are not so good cookies. A cookie
is a small text file placed in your computer's Temporary Internet (cache)
folder by a Web site and is used the next time you visit that same Web
site.
A good cookie might record your logon name so that you do not need to
log in every time you visit the Web site. Perhaps you purchased
accessories at this same Web site – a unique, encrypted transaction
identifier was placed on a cookie. As you revisit the online store, and you
click the "Check my last order" button, all relevant information displays,
without a keystroke!
