Answer 3)If you have ever been to a web site like ivillage.com, iwon.com, or amazon.com, you may notice your name on
the page in a message like "Welcome Back John!" This is because your browser stored a tiny cookie file that
enabled their server to identify you from the first time that you registered with them. This saves regular
visitors or customers of your site time from having to log in and log out every time they visit your site.

Answer 4)A Cookie is a file a web browser will place on your computer which contains various data. Cookies have been
much maligned recently as violations of your privacy. Mainly because cookies can be read by websites that did
not place the cookie. They can contain anything you may have given to a website, name, address (never credit
card data), usually to help with shopping cart systems or automatic logins when you return to a website. They
add a lot of functionality to the internet, but if used irresponsibly then it can be problematic.

Answer 7)A message given to a Web browser by a Web server. The browser stores (\"remembers\") the message, usually in a
text file. The message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
The main purpose of cookies is to identify users and possibly prepare customised Web pages for them. When
you enter a Web site using cookies, you may be asked to fill out a form providing such information as your
name and interests. This information is packaged into a cookie and sent to your Web browser which stores it
for later use. The next time you go to the same Web site, your browser will send the cookie to the Web server.
The server can use this information to present you with custom Web pages. So, for example, instead of seeing
just a generic welcome page you might see a welcome page with your name on it.
