1. A cookie is a text-only string that gets entered into the memory of your browser.
2. Lou Montulli wrote the cookies specification for Navigator 1.0, the first browser to use the technology
3. The ability to personalize information, or to help you with online services, or to collect information.
4. Yes
5. No
6. No, there is a limit of 300 cookies, and a 20 limit of 20 cookies for every domain.
7. It is possible for your information to be spread.
8. The call to the media service is an HTTP request for an image. Once the request is made to the media service, it can return more than just an ad. It can also return a cookie with it.
9. The browser must have a way of saving the cookie when you are not browsing, or when your computer is shut off. The only way the browser can do this is to move the cookies from memory into the hard drive.
10. The layout of Netscape's cookies.txt file is such that each line contains one name-value pair. Each line represents a single piece of stored information. A tab is inserted between each of the fields.
