Terms to Know
Cookie:
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier, sent to a visitor's browser from a web site's computer and stored on the computer's hard drive. Each web site can send its own cookie to a browser if the browser's preferences allow it. To protect a users privacy browsers only permit a web site to access cookies it has already sent., not cookies sent by other sites. Once the user has closed the browser, the cookie will no longer be accessed during the session.
 
IP Address:
When a web browser or an email application requests a web page or email from another computer on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the address where it should send the information. This is called the computer's "IP address." (IP stands for "Internet Protocol.") For many users, accessing the Internet from a dial-up Internet service provider (ISP), the IP address will be different every time they log on. The Programa Para o Futuro site uses this technology to learn about the geographical make-up of its web site traffic.
