HTTP Cookies are a tiny text sent by a client server to a web client and then sent back unchanged by the client every time it access that web server. Cookies are used by web server for authenticating and maintaining specific information about user.
The problem is, there's many web server using this cookies function to spread spyware and malware to their client server. And that made internet user being paranoid to keep their cookies.
I'm the example of the one who always clean all the HTTP cookies after surfing the net. It's because after surfing all of those making money sites it's better for me to take any precautions of that spyware and malware. I'm using cookie cleaner software for this purpose. It's good to keep my PC clean from all of those cookies, even though not all of them are harmful.
How about you, are you always clean your cookies?

CCleaner is excellent, it cleans out all kinds of junk from your hard drive, not only cookies, but Windows temp files, recycle bin files, browser cache, things like that. Kind of erases you online tracks also from PC, if you are concerned about privacy. I would give the program an A++

I was not aware of cleaning the cookies until recently, when my computer got very slow. My neighbor came to have a look and told me to do the cleaning with a antivirus software. After using the cleaning of cookies, historic sites, etc. it got faster. But every time, i turn on the computer, i have to log in again. That is no good.

I used to delete the cookies which are identified as the bad cookies by my antivirus software (Spyware terminator).Also I don't know more about these cookies and I thought these are used to store the log in information only.As I used to visit lot of online earning sites, I found these cookies useful. On seeing yours suggestion, I have decided to delete all those things every day.Thanks for your infromation.
