Web Site Help - Cookies

What are "client-side cookies?"

Client-side cookies, or just 'cookies', are simply bits of information sent from a web page and stored by your browser (the 'client'). Each time your browser connects (e.g. when you click on a link) to the web page that sent the cookie, your browser sends it back. The information in the cookie usually concerns the status of your current session or preferences you have chosen in the past. Without these client-side cookies, a web site would have to store this information on the site and then would still need you to identify yourself somehow for each page you visited on the site, in order to match you with the corresponding information. Much more about cookies can be learned from cookiecentral.com

BJ21.com's use of cookies for personalization

Each message board on BJ21.com uses a cookie to remember your most recent choice of how to display the message index (how many days-worth and what format). It also stores the name and email address you entered the last time you posted a message, and whether you wanted email notification of replies, so you don't have to enter these each time you compose a new message. Perhaps best of all, it keeps track of the time so that messages posted since your previous visit will be marked as being new.

Possible cookie errors & deleting the cookies

There may be a chance, a remote one if you don't mess with the cookies on your computer, that the cookie information could become corrupt. In this case you might have need to delete your bj21.com web browser cookie.

There also seems to be a rare situation where, after cookies have been set for several of the message boards, some or all of the boards may become inaccessible. This may may be due to bugs in rare browser versions or to accessing the site through a corporate firewall. In this case, you should delete your bj21.com web browser cookie.
