Story: Uncertain issue
Recently, a specific website automatically opens when I am using Google Chrome. I am searching for what the cause is. I blocked the site, but it still opens a window. I want to delete all cookies if it’s no problem.
Before I take action, I search for a cookie and make sure deleting all cookies are okay.

An HTTP cookie (also called web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie) is a small piece of data stored on the user’s computer by the web browser while browsing a website. – Wikipedia
I don’t feel many benefits for the user. No one prefers tracking, except a service provider.

The short cut for login is good. Easy searching may well user experience, but I don’t have a significantly good impression for a cookie. Many people think that the company(Facebook, Google or etc) should not share information with a third party.
Difference between cookies, session and tokens

– Session ID in a cookie
– Remember the page which last time visit, I cannot imagine how it useful
– Who change the font size and color?
In computer systems, an access token contains the security credentials for a login session and identifies the user, the user’s groups, the user’s privileges, and, in some cases, a particular application. Typically one may be asked to enter the access token. – Wikipedia
Misuse of Cookie
LinkedIn, Facebook or Amazon, we don’t want to login each time. I get that. My issue may come from cookies. After I deleted all cookies on Google Chrome, a mysterious window does not show up so far. I don’t know what it was, but it may not only me. Please be cautious about 2 websites below. It was so annoyed for a few days.
*I don’t link it.
