If anybody is interested, and hasn't taken the time to look at their
cookie file yet, Netscape gives their rationale/excuse for cookies at
http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html. This URL can be
found in your Netscape cookie file. On a related note, I editted my
cookie.txt file (under WinNT), clearing all entries, saved, and then made
the file read only. So far I have not had any more entries added, which
is a nice feeling. I would get a little nervous if the browser were to
change attributes on a file to add that sort of information.
