Assuming everyone knows what cookies are, knows when to use them (The Way The Cookie Crumbles) and allows them on their computers without fear, the next thing is finding the right Cookie Manager to use, right?
There are many cookies managers free to download on the Internet; some are better than others. There are cookie managers that can only monitor, view, delete, or keep cookies, and there are other cookie managers that can do it all. The purpose here is to share with computer users the available one(s) to identify and block specific types of cookies.
Even though cookies do not harm a computer (as pointed out by cookiecentral.com ) and are essential to automate logins (providing user verification and information) and do make it easier for accessing Web sites (saving time for users), cookies should be deleted from the Web browser once the computer is shutdown. Note: "A user can see the cookies installed on their computer by looking in their Temporary Internet Files or cookies folder - depending on the Internet browser being used." [1] Deleting cookies manually is one option for users to help protect their privacy. Otherwise, consider using a cookie management program to delete them automatically.
In the next sections, users will be able to choose their own cookie management tool. Many are free to download so be sure to read about each one before making a choice.
