Claim One:
1. A system that facilitates private and secure network-based interaction comprising the following computer-implemented components: a computer implemented interface component that receives a network-based communication, the interface component resides within a network; and a computer implemented anonymizer component that disguises a source identity of the network-based communication so as to minimize adverse effects on communication capabilities, and transmits the network-based communication that is disguised to a target destination outside the network, wherein the anonymizer component disguises the source identity at least by: monitor network traffic on the network to determine that a user has set preference information for the target destination via a current cookie, the preference information enabling the user to conduct a particular type of search query on the target destination, and automatically replace the current cookie with a new cookie to hold the preference information to enable the user to repeat the particular type of search query on the target destination via the preference information.
