    Good explanation! Learned cookie in uni web course but didn't understand how cookies could track you because of the domain scope restrictions...This makes it clear

    To add to our privacy protection, modern browsers like chrome and firefox have settings that automatically clear cache and cookies when we close the browser, so next time when we open a website, it's all fresh.

      Yes and besides these they are also adding protection against fingerprinting. This technique doesn't require cookies and is actually used more and more!

    Unfortunately this still doesn't explain how a 3rd party cookie knows where it's coming from. I understand that it's being send to another address, but how does the 3d party know the source of the cookie? Is the browser sending some kind of a refferal together with the cookie? I cannot imagine any other way for them to find out about the website I'm on.

  • @mibrahim4245
    @mibrahim4245 5 лет назад

    What do you mean by the "session cookie"? What I know is that session is on the server side and never stored on your computer that it contains sensitive data like users particular data fetched from the database! .. while cookies are stored on your pc and can be seen by anyone has access to that computer and they last for longer times than sessions that are destroyed at the browser closure or a sign out button! So what did I miss here? I hope you answer.. thanks

      Pitchforks are being raised because permission is not being sought and you're naive if you believe that no one will, if they can, take liberties. Take it you don't care about the concept of privacy.
