You make an excellent point. Do I want the information stored on their computer or my computer? Considering that I can delete a cookie at will, this looks like a no-brainer. len From: Eric van der Vlist [mailto:vdv@d...] On Mon, 2004-01-05 at 20:00, Rich Salz wrote: > Secondarily, I don't know what the cookie is used for, but perhaps they > intend to eventually (or in have previously done this) support some kind > of session or login state; cookies are a natural for that (cf the title > of the cookie RFC).

Hmmm.... to concur, I have been thinking for a while where I'd prefer to see some data such as the "Recently Viewed Products" stuff on Amazon stored. I think that if I had the choice, I'd prefer to see them stored as a cookie in my web browser than in the server's database. Maybe we should bring cookies back from the museum of horrors and rehabilitate them (together with XML comments, PIs and other prematurely deprecated goodies)?
