Answer C is incorrect. A cookie is a small bit of text that accompanies requests and pages as they
move between Web servers and browsers. It contains information that is read by a Web application,
whenever a user visits a site. Cookies are stored in the memory or hard disk of client computers. A
Web site stores information, such as user preferences and settings in a cookie. This information
helps in providing customized services to users. There is absolutely no way a Web server can access
any private information about a user or his computer through cookies, unless a user provides the
information. The Web server cannot access cookies created by other Web servers.

Answer D is incorrect. Proxy server setting is used to connect to the Internet through a proxy server.
