What is a cookie?
A cookie is a piece of information in the form of a very small text file that is placed on an internet user's hard drive. It is generated by a web page server, which is basically the computer that operates a web site. The information the cookie contains is set by the server and it can be used by that server whenever the user visits the site. A cookie can be thought of as an internet user's identification card, which tell a web site when the user has returned.

According to my research, these codes only make sense to the servers.

Reflection:
Through this hands-on project, I realised I have a very long time never clear my cache. Although storing files in my cache can make web browsing faster since lesser time is taken to display a web page by just getting those necessary files from Temporary Internet Files folder. However, when too many files stored in the cache take up space, so it will be a good habit to clear out the files after a period of time. This helps to release memory space for other use. Also, this is the first time I get to know that you can actually check Add-ons that are on your computer. I saw that a lot of Add-ons can run without requiring permission in my computer through Tools->Manage Add-ons. I was quite worry at first, but later I saw that most are from Microsoft, Apple, those trusted publisher, I’m kind of relieved.Labels: Hands-on Project, Practical04
