Handling Cookies With NETSCAPE

A "cookie" is a small amount of information that a web site copies to your hard disk. A cookie can help a web site identify you the next time you visit. For instance, if you shop for books online, the bookstore's web site might use a cookie to store information about your favorite subjects, and later use that information to recommend particular books.

To control your computer's behavior with respect to cookies:

1. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
   
   
2. Click the Advanced category.
   
   
3. Click one of the radio buttons.
   
   
   Important: In most cases, "Accept all cookies" is the best choice. The second button means that your computer will not send a cookie to a server that did not originate it.
   
   
   
4. If you want to be notified when Communicator accepts a cookie, check "Warn me before accepting a cookie."
