Cookie Spy SE is the complete manager for all those Cookies installed by web sites you visit. An easy to use interface lets you delete and permanently block Spyware Cookies or allow the ones you want to keep such as those that remember who you are when you log in to a site. Once a site is blocked you will never receive a Cookie from that site again. The Filters Lists makes it easy to change and/or remove those you've blocked or allowed.

Some Cookies are harmless and in fact helpful but more sites and programs are using them now to get your email address, shopping habits and other personal details. It's not uncommon for computers to have hundreds and even thousands of Spy Cookies installed and most often when you delete them they're installed again when you revisit the site. Cookie Spy SE allows you to permanently block those you don't want.

They are called tracking cookies. When you visit a website they keep track of it. You can download
www.spybot search and destroy.com and they will get rid of them for you. It's free too.That happens on all computers. They are considered harmless.
Hope that helps you.

From sites you have visited. They supposedly store valuable information and then get them back to where they came from.
