Are cookies secure from local access on the user's computer?
The book says "When a user visits a website, the browser locates and
cookies written by that website and sends them to the server. Cookies may
be accessed only by web server and scripts of the website from which the
cookies originated (i.e a cookie set by a script on amazon.com can be read
only by amazon.com servers and scripts) The browser sends these cookies
with every request to the server."
Is this really true. I mean cookies is just text files without any type of
sequrity so anyone can read the cookie as long as they know the name ov
the cookie.
