WebWasher has a built-in filter that automatically filters bad cookies. If you want to customize cookie filtering, simply enter the domains of your choice (by clicking on "cookie filter list") and set a rating for the cookies of this site. Good cookies can pass, bad cookies are filtered out and unknown cookies (marked with '?') will vanish after a user defined lifespan. The settings can later be edited if needed.
Cookies are small local files on the computer, in which information from one contact to a Webserver to the next contact with the same Webserver is buffered. Cookies can be useful to simplify a shopping procedure, but they can also be used to spy on the end users.
The distinction between the good - and thus necessary cookies and the bad cookies that invade the privacy is carried out by WebWasher using an algorithm and the built-in filter list. The cookie filter controls the data stream between users and Web in both directions, a requirement for efficient filtering. Transmitted cookies coming in on the Webserver, in addition to those from the browser are controlled by WebWasher. Bi-directional filtering is particularly important in company networks. With WebWasher running as a proxy server, it solves the cookie problem for the whole company with one simple installation.
