Are cookies good? Are cookies bad? What are cookies?

A cookie is a very small text file placed on your hard drive by a Web Page server. It is essentially your identification card, and cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. Dose this mean that they can't be used for evil? The short answer is yes they can. I found a article that can answer this question in grate detail at http://grc.com/cookies.htm.
grc.com is a web site ran by Steve Gibson. His site shows you how to protect your self against the evil lurking on the web.
