"Cookie", in the computer, industry is a little file with a packet of data. This file is generated when you visit any web site for the first time, to remember you and deploy appropriate content later on. Also, every time you return to these web sites, the rendering will be faster.
This is a simple and just action, but unfortunately, people or organizations with no-good intentions can track us through these files. Cookies also store personal information like your passwords. This is one of many reasons you have to be alert.
Burnt Cookies is a small program wherewith you can purge all the non-required cookies files, and which runs on any platform, including Windows Vista. It will track all changes made to your cookies' folder and provide you with a set of "correct" options.
This application has a special feature that will prompt you only if it thinks you have received a cookie from a third party, for example from the web site address you have requested. It works silently, deletes any cookies you have added to your "Burn List" and you can verify all the contents of cookies already present on your system and purge them if you need to.
There is a little note on the program's website, where the author (Bob Andersson), offers you to pay a little fee, and allow me to say, the benefits are worth it!
You need to register the product first in order to be able to buy it.
