How often should one toss his cookies? I know that some of them you might want to keep and for the most part when surfing the net you will want to toss those. any insight to this would be greatly appreciated.

I know some of you are going to have fun with this one.

I tossed my cookies this weekend. Took quadboys advice and had a drink for every cookie. Tossed them right back up.

Sent from my kickass HTC Desire because Apple sucks!

I'm pretty sure Ian is referring to the only thing he's tossed in quite some time :eek:

Purdy sure he'd take it in the can from you too if you asked him :rolling:

seriously folks how can you identify the coolies you would want to keep? I suppose you could just delete them all but then would you have to redo your bookmarks? I would like to know, my cookie jar is getting pretty full.

I usually go through my cookies once or twice a month and delete the ones from websites I don't frequent. I seriously don't know how those midget porn ones got on there!

Cookies have nothing to do with bookmarks.

To delete them all would be counter productive. Cookies are files that websites store on your computer that give them statistics, usernames, time of last visit, what country you're from, etc.

Here's a little light reading...


Snow and Mud has 9 pieces of information on my computer about my browsing habits, user settings, etc. Cookies really aren't that big of a deal.

I delete my cookies and temp. Internet files weekly and have never had to redo any of my bookmarks. Some sites I have to re-enter my passwords but not very many.
