This week, I was deeply saddened to learn that one of our volunteer forum moderators, Donna Buenaventura, had passed. Over the many years that she dedicated her personal time here in our security forums, she always had a great outlook on life, and always posted in a respectful and caring manner while doing her best to help folks out. She will be greatly missed.
This week's topic comes from Don in Alabama, who has concerns over the browser cookies stored on his machine. He is curious as to what purpose they serve, if they are a security threat, and if there are any good methods to not only identify them, but to also manage them appropriately.
A few members replied to Don's questions, providing a good starting point to get a better understanding of browser cookies and what they are all about. Member btljooz's answer does a great job of giving the rundown of what cookies are and how to manage them; many members recommended CCleaner by Piriform for identifying cookies and removing them, if needed.
If you are an expert on cookies (not the chocolate chip kind) and would like to share additional advice with all of us in regards to this topic, please step on in and let us know. The more that is shared, the more we can all learn. Thanks for all those contributions. Have a great weekend!
