I may be misunderstanding the question, but if you are asking about how to implement cookies on your *web site*, there are probably multiple ways. I can direct you to a couple of ways I am familiar with.\n\nActive server pages code:\nhttp://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_cookies.asp\n\nJavascript:\nhttp://www.webreference.com/js/column8/

Cookies are small internet files that are used to store information.  They are useful, for example, if you do a lot of shopping or travel booking online; the "cookies" keep you from having to re-enter all of your information and passwords every time, so they can be time-savers.\n\nCookies are like bacteria: some are good, and some aren't.  Thankfully, most are nearly harmless.  If someone else shares your computer and profile (ie, they don't sign on to Windows with their own username), then they could see some information stored by cookies that you might not want them to see--account numbers, passwords, etc.\n\nCCleaner is freeware that you can download from www.ccleaner.com -- it will remove cookies and a lot of other junk that can slow your computer down.

Cookies\n\nCookies are actually harmless text files that certain web sites will place onto the hard drive of your computer. Your Internet Browser will then load the information into memory while you are visiting their site. The Cookie itself, actually takes up very little space and acts as an identification card for the visiting site. You can compare this to visiting your favorite restaurant where your food server will usually remember certain aspects of how you like your food prepared and what you usually order. This information would obviously be based upon his familiarity of your prior visits. Well Cookies actually act in a similar manner and do not contain viruses as a virus must be executable file. Let us look at some of the ways that Cookies act as an identification card.\n\nWhy Sites Use Cookies?\n\nThere are numerous reasons why websites would want to use cookies. These range from statistical purposes, such as how many visitors came to the site. This can be further broken down into are they new visitors or actually repeating visitors and how often do they visit. The Website would actually create a unique id for each visitor and store this information into a database.\n\nCookies can be used to store your personal preferences, referred to as customizations, that you set while navigating their site. For instance, if you visit Yahoo.com, you can sign in to create your very own personal yahoo page where you can customize it according to your news and weather preferences after providing your zip code. You can even change the color of the page layout as well.\n\nOnline Shopping sites can use cookies to keep track of items that you add to their shopping carts and quick checkout options. The cookie will keep track of every item that you add to the shopping cart while you continue to browse through different pages or even entirely different sections of their site. Every item you add is stored within the Web site’s database along with a unique ID value that has been assigned to you. Therefore, when you select the check out option, the site automatically knows what items are in your cart by retrieving those selections from its database. This is why sites such as Amazon or eBay will prompt you to enable cookies in case you have disabled them.\n\nCookies also provide web designers and programmers with a quick and convenient method of keeping their site content fresh and up to date according to the interests of their users. Modern web servers use Cookies for back-end interaction as well, allowing them to securely store any personal data that the user has entered within a site. Therefore, on return visits the user now only has to enter partial information to access their account and purchases can be made quicker as their payment information is on file regarding their previous purchases.\n\nIn closing, as Cookies are actually small text files, they really can not damage your computer system or any files on your hard drive. Once again, they cannot transmit viruses as viruses are executable in nature. Some users may just not want to be tracked and this is one of the primary reasons why many people just disable accepting cookies.

A message given to a Web browser by a Web server. The browser stores the message in a text file. The message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. \n\nThe main purpose of cookies is to identify users and possibly prepare customized 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. \n\nThe name cookie derives from UNIX objects called magic cookies. These are tokens that are attached to a user or program and change depending on the areas entered by the user or program. \n\n\nThey are perfectly safe\n\nProof:\nhttp://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=are+cookies+safe&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

A Cookie is 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. It is uniquely yours and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. \n\nHow a Cookie Helps You: ???\nIt saves you time.\n\nThe main purpose of cookies is to identify users and possibly prepare customized 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. \n\nCONCERNED ABOUT SECURITY?\n\nCookies do not act maliciously on computer systems. They are merely text files that can be deleted at any time - they are not plug ins nor are they programs. Cookies cannot be used to spread viruses and they cannot access your hard drive. This does not mean that cookies are not relevant to a user's privacy and anonymity on the Internet. Cookies cannot read your hard drive to find out information about you; however, any personal information that you give to a Web site, including credit card information, will most likely be stored in a cookie unless you have turned off the cookie feature in your browser. In only this way are cookies a threat to privacy. The cookie will only contain information that you freely provide to a Web site.\n\n\nThis Answer was edited 3 Times to provide the most complete and accurate answer

Cookies are a security question, one you can determine by going to Tools, Internet Options, and then check the settings. You should see a setting for cookies under General. The higher the security setting, the less information your computer will accept.

I don't know computer lingo, but I can tell you, that a cookie is a small text file, that a website, that you have visited, will leave on your computer, so they can identify you, when you return..This way, if you use a site, that requires you to use a user name, and a password, you would not have to sign in, everytime you visit that particular site..You must check the box, that says remember me, or you will have to sign in, everytime you go there..There are also "bad" cookies, where a website will drop a cookie on your computer, which could send you adds, and also could follow where you have been in the past, so that they can figure out, what sort of products you prefer, and design an add, just from the browsing, that you do..I am sure there are better ways to describe cookies, but that is the basic premiss, on which they are used for..Hope I helped, in a small way..Click on this link, for more information..\nhttp://www.webopedia.com/TERM/c/cookie.html\nI am also a slow typist, there were no answers, when I started out, to answer your question..I also was detained, when I had to let my dog out..lol
