From the Publisher
Review from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review...
"The most refreshing point I can make about Pfaffenberger's book is that it puts privacy-oriented knowledge in the hands of individual computer users. If more of us protect our own privacy, perhaps we won't need politicians and bureaucrats trying to do it for us...
Pfaffenberger gives the clearest, most even-handed presenation of cookies I have ever read. And he gives clear explanations of how to disable cookies in Netscape and Explorer browsers -- and discusses why these browsers won't let you reject all cookies."
