How to decrypt cookie files

Most of the contents in Cookie are encrypted, so in our opinion, they are just meaningless alphanumeric combinations, and only the CGI processor of the server knows their true meaning. You can see more content through some software, and the Cookie information viewed by using Cookie Pal software is shown in Figure 2. It provides us with the contents, expiration, name, value and other options of the server. Among them, Server is the website that stores cookies, Expires records the time and lifetime of cookies, and the Name and value fields are specific data.

A Cookie is a small text file stored on your machine when you browse a website. It records your user ID, password, the web pages you visited, the time you stayed, and other information. When you come to the website again, the website can read Cookie and get your relevant information, so you can take corresponding actions, such as displaying a welcome slogan on the page, or allowing you to log in directly without entering your ID and password. You can select "Settings/View Files" in the "General" tab of ie's "Tools/Internet Options" to view all Cookie saved in your computer. These files are usually named in the format of user@domain, where user is your local user name and domain is the domain name of the website you visit. If you use a NetsCape browser, it is stored in "C: \ program files \ NETSCAPE \ users". Unlike IE, Netscape uses a Cookie file to record cookies of all websites.

In order to ensure the security of the Internet, we need to set Cookie appropriately. Open the Privacy tab in Tools/Internet Options (note that this setting only exists in IE6.0, and other versions of IE can be adjusted by clicking the Custom Level button in the Security tab in Tools/Internet Options). Usually, you can adjust the slider to the "medium high" or "high" position. Most forum sites need to use Cookie information. If you never go to these places, you can set the security level to "block all Cookies". If you only want to block Cookie from individual websites, you can click the Edit button to add the websites to be blocked to the list. In the Advanced button option, you can set first-party cookies and third-party cookies. The first-party Cookie is the Cookie of the website you are browsing, and the third-party Cookie is not the Cookie sent to you by the website you are browsing. Usually, you should choose "Reject" for third-party Cookie, as shown in figure 1. If you need to save Cookie, you can use ie's "Import and Export" function to open "File/Import and Export" and follow the prompts.
