Commenter CookiesThis site also uses cookies in some of the examples in the Internet programming courses and when visitors make comments in the blog section.
These cookies are either sent as part of a course assignment example, or - in the blog section - for convenience, so that the visitor won't need to re-type all their information again when they want to leave more than one comment.
Three cookies are set for visitors making comments:
- comment_author
- comment_author_email
- comment_author_url
The data in the cookies for commenters is hashed. When a visitor returns, the blogging software checks for the existence of that visitor's cookie and tries to compare the visitor's hashed data with the values stored in a database.
The commenter cookies are set to expire a little under one year from the time they're set.
The sending of commenter cookies can, however, be prevented by simply not clicking those examples using cookies, or by configure your browser's security settings not to use cookies.
