Asked in Computers
How many computer cookies can you have?

Every website you visit places a small file onto your computer
harddrive called "a cookie". A cookie tracks web visiting behavior.
But it also contains information for your userID, loggin, and the
last time you visited the site. If you look at a list of computer
cookies saved onto your computer, often you will see a number in
brackets after it showing the number of visits. Computer cookies
are also useful when a person buys via the Internet.
Computer users dislike cookies, feeling that cookies invade the
users' privacy. Cookies also accumulate over time. So there are
programs that will reliably delete cookies from your computer
without harming the harddrive.
As to how many cookies there can be or might be, the number on
your computer depends on how many different websites you visit in a
day, week, month, or year. If you use the Internet a lot and browse
a lot, you probably have accumulated a lot of cookies.
