Differences of the Same Cookie

[Creative0Mind]

Hi all,

 

So while saving my 'preferred cookies' I find some as, google.com and www.google.com. What's the difference and shoiuld I save both?

 

Also, I have my browser set to block third-party cookies yet CCleaner still shows them?

 

 

Thanks..

www.google.com is a subcookie of google.com. It could be a login cookie, prefernces cookie or something else. If you want to be logged in automatically when you visit Google, or if you want your browser to remember your Google preferences, you should save it, otherwise it should be okay to delete. In Firefox you can expand the google.com cookie and see all the subcookies and their details by clicking them. It might say PREF, PASSWORD, LOGIN or something like that. I don't know about any other browsers.

 

Are the third-party cookies showing up in the browser? You might double check and see if they're in there. If so, it sounds like it might be an issue with the browser or something more complicated that I'm not qualified to give advice about.

Google.com Cookie Contains NID and Pref (both store your Google Prefs like suggestions, lang, Parental control).

I don't know what www.google.com hold cause I don't have one right now.
