An article in yesterday's USA Today (USA Yesterday?) described tracking done by various web sites using cookies. It focused on Facebook in particular and talked about the various ways Facebook tracks visitors to a Facebook site. My understanding is that this is only possible through the use of cookies -- at least for those not logged in to Facebook.
So, if I visited a Facebook page I'm supposed to have been given a cookie that will in some way track my web travels. I think it's something to do with whether or not the pages I visit have a Facebook connection on them, but I don't really know those details. What I'd like to know is how I can inspect individual cookies to determine where they came from. It appears that I can "manage" my Firefox cookies by clicking on Tools > Clear Recent History ... . I have only a few options. I can choose the time frame to clear, and I can choose the category of thing to clear, cookies being one of the categories. I don't want to clear all the cookies. I want to look at the collection, which now appears to be kept with sql-lite. Does anyone know of a tool that let's me inspect the cookie collection and decide what to keep and what to get rid of? Thanks. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
