OK technically (not too technically) they are small files that will reside on your system so that you "may enjoy a more fulfilling internet experience" They make communication between your site and the website in question more efficient (in theory).

Unfortunately, they may also contain adware, spyware, spamware and maybe even worse. On top of that they are a dead giveaway as to what you have been up to (particularly on your office system, when you should have been working? )

I do not know the Friendster site so I cannot say, but some sites require that you have cookies as your profile, password and other login information can be stored in them. I have also seen online "shops" that use them to store some of your account details.

There are two basic sorts:

1. Per session.......these sit on your machine for the duration of your session and should be deleted when you reboot.
2. Permanent.......these sit there until they reach their expiry date or you delete them. Much more dangerous in my opinion.

I have already warned you that your employers may not like this sort of activity as you are compromising their security. I do not know your company or your standing there, but I am willing to bet that eventually your Administrator will no longer find you and your colleagues' activities amusing and will take the matter higher........much higher? That will probably result in what is euphemistically described as some "personnel re-alignments"

Once again...........Be Careful!.......Hey, I have nothing against people having a bit of fun, but systems security is a serious business.

Good Luck

Hi-

Alright, there is a way to get around this, but please be careful and dont do anything stupid.

Alot of people try to get around there firewalls by HTTP tunneling. Read about it over here-

You could ask your administrator to give you access to the site your trying to visit, its alot safer than screwing around with a network firewall just to access a site.

Hope you make the right decision - dont get your butt kicked
