A cookie is piece of information sent by a web server to a web browser. If accepted, the browser software will save it and send it back to the server whenever the browser makes additional requests from the server.
Cookies are used for authenticating, tracking, and maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences or the contents of their electronic shopping carts. The term cookie is derived from magic cookie, a well-known concept in Unix computing which inspired both the idea and the name of cookies.
Even if it seems that the purpose of some cookies is innocent they, there are plenty of ways for cookies to threaten your privacy. Therefore here is how to manually delete the cookie files:
1. Exit Internet Explorer 7.
2. Click Start, click Run, type inetcpl.cpl, and then press ENTER.
3. On the General tab, click Delete under Browsing History in the Internet Properties dialog box.
4. In the Delete Browsing History dialog box, click Delete Cookies.
5. In the Delete Cookies dialog box, click Yes.
Follow these steps to see if there are any cookies left:
1. In the Internet Properties dialog box, on the General tab, click Settings under Browsing History.
2. In the Temporary Internet Files and History Settings dialog box, click View Files. This opens the folder where your cookie files are stored.
3. In the folder that has just opened, verify that there are no .txt files.
