Where is the cookies folder on your computer?

Answer 1

Cookies are most commonly used to track Web site activity. When you visit some sites, the server gives you a cookie that acts as your identification card. Upon each return visit to that site, your browser passes that cookie back to the server. In this way, a Web server can gather information about which Web pages are used the most, and which pages are gathering the most repeat hits. Cookies are also used for online shopping. When you visit an online store, you often must fill out a form that includes your name, address, phone number, and other information. To avoid re-entering this information each time you visit the store, the server may issue you a cookie containing this information. Upon your next visit to the store, this cookie automatically supplies all necessary information for you. One of the most useful ways in which servers use cookies is to provide personalized Web pages. You offer information by selecting preferences at a particular site, which the server then places in a cookie. When you return, the server uses the information in the cookie to create a customized page for you.

How to open the cookies folder

• Open 'My computer'
• Click on your hard drive (usually C://)
• Then click 'Users.'
• Click your user account.
• This is where it gets tricky. Click into the address bar at the top, and add (copy this carefully to the current address) '\AppData'.
• Then click on 'Roaming.'
• Next click 'Microsoft.'
• The next thing to do is click Windows and finally click on the address bar again and add '\Cookies.'

If you don't follow these instructions to the letter, this address will not work and you will get an error message. In that case start all over again.
