Internet security question

[Messie]

A quick question, if you please, about internet security.

I have an up to date virus and spyware checking system (McAfee) so I'm not desperately worried.
However one thing odd keeps happening.
I usualy stay logged into the org, my email and FB, so that when I go to the sites I'm simply automatically logged in; but all week end, everytime I go to one of these addresses I have to log in afresh.

Is something up?

There's nothing to fear,
No need to be fazed,
Sometimes your cookies become erased...

Oh, gosh, really

Should I clear them, block them or eat them?

A cookie is a small file a website stores on your computer so that it can recognise you the next time you come back, in the org's case it notes your login details and that you want to stay logged in, so when your browser comes back to the website the website behaves appropriately... Assuming the org uses cookies to track user details? If not I'm talking a load of cobblers...

If you block or clear them then the website will be unable to remember you...

OK. I'll put them in an airtight tin and store them then.


Thank you sweet poet xx

Look in Tools, options. You can find the setting in there to play with.

Thank you, but I'm not that sort of girl. I'll not play with them x

You'll probably find windows has updated itself and changed your cookie settings!
