I apologize if this is redundant, but I think I must have missed the very
beginning of the "cookie" thread. Could someone please just reiterate
what the function of the cookie is and how it works? I understand that
the server and the browser are trading information about usage, but I
don't know the specifics. In other words, what is the main reason for
concern?
Thank you
John Pavao
