Tips, Tricks, & Hidden Gems
What are Cookies and Why Might I Have to Delete Them?
First, what exactly is a cookie?? Cookies are very small text files placed on your hard drive by a Web Page server. Many cookies are actually quite useful, saving time when you're a frequent user of particular websites, as they will auto-complete fields of information.
But some cookies are used for tracking purposes and occasionally they can interfere with website functioning, so you may be told to "delete cookies" or "clear your browsing history."
For example, those of you using online materials from textbook publishers, such as McGraw-Hill's Connect, may need to tell your students to periodically delete cookies if they're having difficulty logging in.
