Configuring Privacy Settings in IE

The Privacy tab of the Internet Options dialog box allows you to control how Internet Explorer handles cookies, which are small text files stored on your computer by websites. Websites use cookies to store user preferences for personalized sites, and cookies often contain personal information used to identify the user to the website. Although most cookies are legitimate, some are not. Unsatisfactory cookies are those that are used to provide personally identifiable information for a secondary purpose, such as selling your e-mail address to third-party vendors, or sharing your name and address with other companies. Because there are unsatisfactory cookies, it is important to understand the different types of cookies, how to delete cookies, and how to change privacy settings to prevent different types of cookies from being saved to the computer.

Your company might require that changes be made to the default settings for cookies, too, so you need to know how to make changes if asked. Cookies can be either persistent (they remain after Internet Explorer is closed and can be reused) or temporary (they are deleted when Internet Explorer is closed). Also, there are first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies originate from the website that you are currently viewing. Third-party cookies originate from a site different from the one that you are currently viewing but are somehow related to the current website. For example, many sites use advertising from third-party sites, and those sites commonly use cookies to track your website usage for advertising purposes.

■ Block All Cookies Blocks new cookies from being created and prevents access to existing cookies. If per-site privacy settings are configured, they do not override this setting.

■ High Blocks all cookies that use personal information without the user’s explicit consent. If per-site privacy settings are configured, they override this setting in windows xp.

■ Medium High Blocks all third-party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy or that use personal information without the user’s explicit consent, and all first-party cookies that use personal information without implicit consent. If per-site privacy settings are configured, they override this setting.

■ Medium Blocks all third-party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy or that use personal information without the user’s explicit consent. First-party cookies that use personal information without implicit consent are allowed, but they are deleted when the browser is closed. Access to first-party cookies is restricted to first-party context if the cookie does not have a compact privacy policy. If per-site privacy settings are configured, they override this setting.

■ Low Permits websites to store all cookies on the computer. When the browser is closed, third-party cookies are deleted. Access to first-party cookies is restricted to first-party context if the cookie does not have a compact privacy policy. If per-site privacy settings are configured, they override this setting.

■ Accept All Cookies Enables all websites to store and access cookies on the computer. If per-site privacy settings are configured, they do not override this setting.

Managing Temporary Internet Files in IE in Windows xp

Internet Explorer automatically stores (or caches) copies of Web pages that you access to a folder on the local hard disk. These copies are called temporary Internet files. The next time you access the same page in Microsoft windows xp, Internet Explorer can load the page from the local cache rather than having to connect to the Web server and download it again. This increases performance and decreases Internet traffic.

However, problems occur when the Temporary Internet pages cache is full. Resolving these browser problems is as simple as deleting the files in the Temporary Internet Files folder in Microsoft windows xp. Unfortunately, recognizing problems caused by a full Temporary Internet Files folder can be difficult. Here are some common warning signs of a full Temporary Internet Files folder:

■ An end user reports that he cannot use the Save Picture As command to save a graphics file to his hard disk as a JPEG or GIF, but the file can be saved as a BMP file. The file name might also appear as Untitled.

■ An end user reports problems viewing History files by date, or no data appears.

■ An end user reports that when he selects Source on the View menu to view the source for a Web page, the source code does not appear as expected.

■ An end user reports that when he visits the Windows Update Product Catalog website, he receives the message Cannot Display Page. (This happens because the user has an earlier version of the site control in his or her browser cache, and the cache is full.)

■ An end user reports that he gets unrecoverable errors (faults) when using Internet Explorer.
