No matter how busy people nowadays are, they will be exposed to computers to some extent in their lives or work, and computers have indeed brought a lot of fun and convenience to our lives, making our lives more colorful. But there are many little tricks and little knowledge when using computers. Knowing these will not only make it more convenient and faster in office software, but also make it more convenient for entertainment and Internet use, such as our commonly used copy, paste, cut and delete shortcuts. Key, let’s introduce the use of a common cookie file.
What are cookies?
Cookies are a technology that allows the website server to store a small amount of data on the client's hard drive or memory, or to read data from the client's hard drive. . Cookies are a very small text file placed on your hard drive by the web server when you browse a website. It can record information such as your user ID, password, web pages you have browsed, and the time you stayed on it. When you come to the website again, the website learns your relevant information by reading the cookies, and can take corresponding actions, such as displaying a slogan welcoming you on the page, or allowing you to log in directly without entering your ID or password. etc. Essentially, it can be thought of as your ID card. But Cookies cannot execute as code, do not transmit viruses, are proprietary to you, and can only be read by the server that provided them. The saved information fragments are stored in the form of "name/value" pairs. A "name/value" pair is just a named piece of data. A website can only obtain the information it places on your computer. It cannot obtain information from other Cookies files or anything else on your computer. Most of the content in cookies is encrypted, so to the average user it appears to be just some meaningless alphanumeric combinations, and only the server's CGI handler knows their true meaning. Since Cookies are text files or data in memory that are transferred to the user's computer hard drive by the websites we browse, the location where they are stored on the hard drive is closely related to the operating system and browser used.
Where are the cookies?
1. Right-click IE and select Properties
2. Select Settings in the new window that pops up
3. The current location of the new window that pops up is the location of the cookies. You can choose to view the file address to reach the file.

Some people think that websites using cookies may infringe on user privacy. However, since most users don’t know much about it, and most of this use of users’ personal information is used for statistical purposes and does not necessarily cause direct losses to users, the issue of cookies and user privacy rights is not relevant at present. legal restrictions,Many websites still use cookies to track user behavior, and some programs require users to turn on cookies before they can be used properly. IE browser users can choose whether to delete cookies. Select Delete in the second step above, check the cookie in the new window and select Delete.
The above is the introduction and use of cookie files in your computer. As we all know, the literal translation of cookies in English is desserts, biscuits and the like. In computers, cookies are cached data. If the user frequently logs in to a website, he or she does not need to enter the account and password. However, if there are too many cache files in the computer that are not cleared for a long time, the accumulated cache will occupy a large amount of hard disk memory, which may affect the running speed of the computer to a certain extent. Therefore, you should also use the computer when using it. Clear memory regularly.
