Who is dropping cookies on you ?

Since we browse a lot of sites, we went into our "cookies.txt" files to see which UAE sites were dropping cookies on us.

Here are a few (Numbers have been changed and replaced):

Make of it what you want, but you are being tracked :)

By the way, .ads.emirates.net.ae is dropped from the advertisements on EIM's home page !

Go look at your own cookies.txt file and let us know if other sites in the UAE are following you.


Here are a few (Numbers have been changed and replaced):

.co.ae    TRUE     /    FALSE    #00#0#0000     SITESERVER    ID=A_Bunch_of_charachters
.godubai.com    TRUE    /    FALSE     #0#1#00000    SITESERVER     ID=A_Bunch_of_charachters
.www.dxbcustoms.gov.ae    FALSE / FALSE    #2#4#00000     SOME_ID IP#_A_Bunch_of_charachters
.pcmag-arabic.com    TRUE    /    FALSE     #0#1#00000    SITESERVER    ID=A_Bunch_of_charachters

.ads.emirates.net.ae    FALSE    /    FALSE     1#2#3#0000    NGUserID A_Bunch_of_charachters
ads1.emirates.net.ae    FALSE    /    FALSE     1#2#3#0000    NGUserID A_Bunch_of_charachters
ads2.emirates.net.ae    FALSE    /    FALSE     1#2#3#0000    NGUserID A_Bunch_of_charachters

The co.ae cookie is disturbing. Can anyone pinpoint who is dropping this?


Now you want to edit your cookie.txt file?

You have to Find it first.

For Netscape users, it is usually onwards from a place like this:
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\

Then make sure your browser is closed. If your browser is open, it rewrites all the cookies back into the file from its memory.

So close your browser, edit out all the ones you don't want, and save the file.

Remember that some sites you visit regularly store important information about you, and uses that information to make your browsing easier.

So only remove those you are sure you don't want, like ads.emirates.net.ae :)
