If you look inside your computer's hard drive under preferences you will find a Cookie page. The civil liberties and privacy debate is growing about Cookies.
Cookies track users' Web page requests, and therefore, record the users' surfing on a given site.
Cookies are particularly offensive because the methods they use for collecting customer information extend far beyond expected social conventions. For example, it is unlikely that people would have a problem with an auto service department keeping maintenance records through the use of their car license plate number. Yet, those same people would be shocked if a drug store made a note of their license plate numbers every time they filled a prescription. One reasons is that sites are increasingly interested in offering personalized service to their users. Shopping cart programs allow users to keep shopping lists of purchases from site, and allow them to resume shopping another day without resubmitting their credit card number.
