cache is a folder in your computer on where the files of the webpages you viewed downloaded. this is also called temporary internet files, but some webpages have scripts that don't download the files into your pc, this is for protection usually of copyright materials..\n\nif you are using wimdows xp it is located at\n\nC:/documents and setting/*some user*/local settings/temporary internet files/\n\nA cookie is just one or more pieces of information stored as text strings on your machine. A Web server sends you a cookie and the browser stores it. The browser then returns the cookie to the server the next time the page is referenced. \n\nThe most common use of a cookie is to store a user ID\ncookie does no harm in computers.

Cookies are small text files that store information for your browser.\n\nThey can be used to keep you registered at a site (so you don't need to login everytime you visit), they can store information about your shopping cart, etc.\n\nThey are also used to do a limited amout of tracking of your web habits. For instance if you go to Sporks.com they will place a cookie that will allow them to see how you navigate the site. They may see you went from the webpage New Sporks back to the Main Page and then to Sporks In History. If a lot of people do that, they can see that the direct navigation from New Sporks to Sporks In History is confusing or not noticable.\n\nLess respectible uses of cookies are to obtain you buying habits and then send that information to a server so they can start some relevant pop-ups.\n\nYou can clear all the cookies from your browser, but this means that you may have to retype user names and passwords for some sites.\n\nHere is an example of a cookie I picked up from TheOnion (http://onion.com), though I have switched some funny charachters and split it on 4 lines.

Your Internet cache is in the Temporary Internet Files folder on your hard disk. This is where Web pages and files (such as graphics) are stored as you view them. This speeds up the display of pages you frequently visit or have already seen, because it is faster to open them from your hard disk than from the Web. The downside of this is that it takes up space on your hard disk, and it can sometime cause problems in loading a page that you have visited many times before.\n\nClear Netscape Cache\n\nDouble Click: Netscape logo\n \nFrom the Edit menu, choose Preferences.\n \nOpen the Advanced category.\n \nClick: Cache \n \nClick: "Clear Memory Cache" to clear memory cache immediately.\n \nClick: "Clear Disk Cache" to clear disk cache immediately.

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.

Cookies are small files that websites can cause to be stored on your computer. They contain information about your activity at that site. If Yahoo remembers who you are when you visit the site, it's because the site created a cookie on your computer the last time you logged in.\n\nCookies are somewhat controversial because they are also used by marketing companies to track what you do on the web. For this reason, it is best to set your browser to refuse third party cookies, and to frequently use a spyware remover to root out tracking cookies. You can also manually manage your cookies; your browser's help menu can tell you  how.

A browser cookie is a small piece of information sent by a web server to a web browser to be stored for future use.\n\nThe data in the browser cookie will be sent back to the web server whenever the browser reconnects to the web site.\n\nCookies are commonly used to store user preference information, such as web site options. \n\nCookies are also used to store shopping cart contents. The most security relevant use of browser cookies is when they are used to store authentication data, such as user names and passwords.

CPU caches\n\nSmall memories on or close to the CPU chip can be made faster than the much larger main memory. Most CPUs since the 1980s have used one or more caches, and modern general-purpose CPUs inside personal computers may have as many as half a dozen, each specialized to a different part of the problem of executing programs.\n\nDisk buffer\n(also known as disk cache or cache buffer)\n\nHard disks have historically often been packaged with embedded computers used for control and interface protocols. Since the late 1980s, nearly all disks sold have these embedded computers and either an ATA, SCSI, or Fibre Channel interface. The embedded computer usually has some small amount of memory which it uses to store the bits going to and coming from the disk platter.\n\nThe disk buffer is physically distinct from and is used differently than the page cache typically kept by the operating system in the computer's main memory. The disk buffer is controlled by the embedded computer in the disk drive, and the page cache is controlled by the computer to which that disk is attached. The disk buffer is usually quite small, 2 to 16 MB, and the page cache is generally all unused physical memory, which in a 2006 PC may be as much as 2GB. And while data in the page cache is reused multiple times, the data in the disk buffer is typically never reused. In this sense, the phrases disk cache and cache buffer are misnomers, and the embedded computer's memory is more appropriately called the disk buffer.\n\nThe disk buffer has multiple uses:\n\nReadahead / readbehind: When executing a read from the disk, the disk arm moves the read/write head to (or near) the correct track, and after some settling time the read head begins to pick up bits. Usually, the first sectors to be read are not the ones that have been requested by the operating system. The disk's embedded computer typically saves these unrequested sectors in the disk buffer, in case the operating system requests them later. \nSpeed matching: The speed of the disk's I/O interface to the computer almost never matches the speed at which the bits are transferred to and from the hard disk platter. The disk buffer is used so that both the I/O interface and the disk read/write head can operate at full speed. \nWrite acceleration: The disk's embedded microcontroller may signal the main computer that a disk write is complete immediately after receiving the write data, before the data are actually written to the platter. This early signal allows the main computer to continue working even though the data has not actually been written yet. This can be somewhat dangerous, because if power is lost before the data are permanently fixed in the magnetic media, the data will be lost from the disk buffer, and the filesystem on the disk may be left in an inconsistent state. On some disks, this vulnerable period between signaling the write complete and fixing the data can be arbitrarily long, as the write can be deferred indefinitely by newly arriving requests. For this reason, the use of write acceleration can be controversial. Consistency can be maintained, however, by using a battery-backed memory system in the disk controller for caching data - although this is typically only found in high end RAID controllers. Alternately, the caching can simply be turned off when the integrity of data is deemed more important than write performance. \nCommand queuing: Newer SATA and most SCSI disks can accept multiple commands while any one command is in operation. These commands are stored by the disk's embedded computer until they are completed. Should a read reference the data at the destination of a queued write, the write's data will be returned. Command queuing is different from write acceleration in that the main computer's operating system is notified when data are actually written onto the magnetic media. The OS can use this information to keep the filesystem consistent through res

A cookie is specific to the browser. So if you use a webpage, then another person in the same browser the admin will not notice.\nIf you use a multi-user operating system where each user has to login with username/password then the browsers save the cookies in the user profile. In this case the cookie will be different for each person. The administrator won't know that they use the same computer.\n\nBut I should note: cookies don't collect information. A cookie is a set of text that the webserver gives to the browser to store on the computer. The browser doesn't add information. Next time you visit the website (to be precise anytime you surf a webpage there) the browser sents the cookie as well. So it's only information the website knew anyway.
