Friends, Can you explain about cookies and cache? I need
simple explanation?
Answer Posted / shyam
Cookies are relatively small amounts of data that a website
saves to your computer while you are viewing a web page.
Cookies usually contain information such as your user name
or a saved password, so that the website can identify who
you are when you return to the site later on. Usually any
data in the cookie is encrypted or in a form only readable
by that particular web page, so you don't have to worry
about sensitive data being stored in your cookies (as long
as the web site you visit is trusted).
The cache is also a repository of saved data, but the cache
stores any files needed to view a website (text, images,
other media) so that the page load time is shorter if you
happen to visit the page again in the future. For example,
if I have a 1 MB image on my home page, it would be a hassle
to load the image from the Internet again and again --
instead, the local copy of the image in the cache is loaded
into the browser, making the overall load time a lot faster.
