SURbit Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 MAXA Cookie Manager WHAT ARE COOKIES? A cookie (also tracking cookie, browser cookie, and HTTP cookie) is a small piece of text stored on a user's computer by a web browser. A cookie contains bits of information such as user preferences, shopping cart contents, or anything else the website you visit wants to set. Cookies, today, can do a lot more than this definition provides for. In fact, most people are unaware that there are other types of cookies, in addition to the typical HTTP style browser cookies. Collectively, these are called Super Cookies. For example the Flash cookie is being used by many of today's popular websites. The evercookie combines all types of approaches like regular Cookies, Super Cookies and ETAG tracking, so it is nearly impossible to get rid off it manually. The problem here, is that today's browsers cannot delete these cookies and, the icing on the cake, is that the information is shared among all installed browsers! So, you may ask, "What's the big deal?" Well, the "big deal" is that these cookies, if placed on websites as web bugs, can store a lot of information, including, what language you use, what websites you have visited, what your browsing habits are, which topics you're interested in, where you shop, which countries you take your laptop to, which hotels or companies you visited, and much more! Thanks to these cookies, over time, you can be tracked and profiled more and more precisely. (You can also use our exclusive Privacy Test to see what information websites can get from your system right now!) You should be VERY worried about this, as you not only have no control over whether these cookies even exist on your machine, but even worse, you have absolutely NO CONTROL over the information that they can gather. And, you have absolutely no idea how that information can be used!!! If you think we're kidding, just take a look at the following news articles about these types of cookies: CNN: You Deleted Your Cookies? Think AgainPCWorld: Study: Adobe Flash Cookies Pose Vexing Privacy Questions But, there is an answer to the problem!

Some do want to just have a good solution, some don't like to go under the hood so to speak and do it their self, some will go for the FREE Version of Maxa Cookie Manager as I started with it and want to help the developer to continue support and advancement of the software. Maxa is one of the pioneer of blocking cookies back when there was little being done about them. @ straycat19 I guess you must of missed the comparison chart of my post, Pro is for a charge / and Standard is FREE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
