This is the longest thread I've seen on this list re Cookies, and very welcome it is too
Many sites autheticate you when you return by reading cookies set during a previous visit. If this cookie is readable by other sites when you visit those sites, isn't this data vulnerable? Amazon, for one, knows your name when you return - because they've linked your account to your cookie. I don't know if they allow you to purchase things without further authentication but, if they did, details of your cookie would give someone access to your account How are other developers dealing with this? Is this an issue we should consider? ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf
