With the growth of the Internet, unfortunately we have seen a growth in SPAMming.
SPAMming takes many forms. The most obnoxious of these include unsolicited e-mails. Website
owners either gather e-mail addresses on the Internet or purchase large quantities of addresses
and then send bulk e-mail advertisements to users who, most of the time, don't want them.

A cookie is a small text file the administrator of a website can store on your
computer. the information you reveal at each website can be used to build rather extensive
user profiles. This allows websites to view the history of sites users have visited, the
advertisements they have viewed and the online transactions they have conducted.
While Cookies can be useful in some situations (i.e. in saving a user's password to a particular site),
they can also constitute an invasion of privacy.
