Om cookies  
 

A "cookie" is a tag that a web server assigns you to keep track of who you are as you browse around a site. Servers that support cookies will invisibly allocate you a cookie when you first enter their site, and OmniWeb will send the cookie back to the server with every new document request. The server can then tailor the document it returns to you.

Cookies are useful for sites that want to remember things about their users; for example, if you go to a shopping site, you can browse around and buy things, and the server will know from page to page who you are and what you have already bought. Also, many web sites allow you to customize their appearance and behavior; they use cookies to keep track of your preferences.

However, some web sites use cookies to track your movements from page to page and from site to site. Since many people consider this behavior an invasion of privacy, OmniWeb allows you to exercise fine control over which cookies you accept and which you don't. Beware, however: some sites may not behave as expected if you reject their cookies.
