Computer Systems of yours which has been of greater benefits to you in differs ways needs to be maintained in almost (and in the actual sense of it),every sphere-ranging from whether you work on line to most of the frequent offline works of yours.
I wanna share with you (online addict like myself) some of the little ways to making that your Personal Computer "perform" at the peak as expected. I'll be discussing about COOKIES, it's works, benefits, disadvantages & so many more.
Let's begin...
As an internet user who care to clear their browser's history would have noticed that "cookies" is being listed among the options to be cleared in then dialog box.
NB: The statement above majorly refers to Mozilla Firefox browser.
Now,
What are COOKIES?
Cookies are
referred to as small files that a website can write to your computer to save "state"
information.
"State" is a broad term that can refer to any number of things
ranging from how many times you have visited the site to your user name and
password for that site.
With the little explanation about Cookies and "state";you've have a slight intuition about how cookies are formed in the PC;... ranging from how many times you have visited the site to your user name and
password for that site.
The
information contained by a cookie is lost when the cookie expires.
While cookie
files are quite small, they can still build up and slow down your system
performance. When too many cookies are allowed to accumulate, those unneeded
files can bog down the system and cause it to run more slowly than it should.
By taking the time to delete the cookies and temporary Internet files from your
computer, you can increase the speed and performance of your web browsing
software.
Though Cookies exists in various types. Detail about this soon.
Hear this:
"No
matter how you use your computer or what type of computer you have, it is
important to maintain your system properly. Part of that system maintenance is
deleting unneeded files like cookies and temporary Internet files. Removing
these unneeded files has a number of benefits, including faster system
performance, greater security and of course an increase in available hard drive
space." e-how.
BENEFITS OF DELETING COOKIES IN YOUR
COMPUTER
1. MORE HARD-DISK SPACE
Every Computer user will definitely enjoy the performance of his/her PC if adequate Hard disk space if made available.
Sufficient
hard drive space is an important consideration for computer users, and deleting
cookies on a regular basis will free space on your hard drive. When you start
to run low on hard drive space, you may notice a decrease in performance and an
increase in the number of system crashes.
That is because the operating system
will use hard drive space to mimic physical memory, and if sufficient space is
not available, the performance of the computer will suffer.
And Clearing that hard
drive space by deleting your cookies can help to increase the performance of your
computer.
2. ENHANCED SECURITY
As harmless as some cookies are,others can be a very reliable means to be used in tracking your every move on the
Internet. Businesses often use these tracking cookies to study consumer
behavior, but many computer users consider them an invasion of privacy.
And when your every move is being tracked "unknowingly" to you, then you're entering into the "net".
Meanwhile; By
setting your web browser to delete cookies each time you close your browser,
you can thwart these tracking attempts and reduce the risk of a security
breach.
So, each time you're on the internet remember to set your browser to "delete cookies" after closing the browser's tab(s).
Good luck
