Bookmarklets

 

A JavaScript enabled browser (Netscape or Explorer) is needed to use bookmarklets. You may be able to enable JavaScript in your browser Preferences.

Cookies are small pieces of information stored in a "cookie file" on your machine. A site can set a cookie in order to recover persistent relations that may build up with a visitor over time (such as your preferences about the site). Select this bookmarklet while visiting a site to read any cookie that the site may have set (usually this isn't very meaningful, but what the heck).
