Folks,
Here is something I would really love to have in Squeak. It is a
"Cookie Zapper" with control. I am upset at the amount of info that
companies like DoubleClick are collecting on me using cookies (in Netscape
or Internet Explorer). I do want cookies for places I like and trust, but
I don't want cookies for others.
There are cookies I want to keep. I want Amazon to recognise me
when I log on.
How about a Squeak program that does this:
() Keeps a dictionary of companies that have planted cookies in the past.
With each company is 'true' if I want to keep their cookie.
() Silently erases the cookies of the ones I don't want.
() Asks me when a new kind of cookie appears.
I don't know how to make sense of the data in cookies, but you
probably do. An application that handled them would be a service to
Squeak-kind. And I could see inside it and tailor it to my needs, unlike
other cookie control programs.
