hello,
thank you all for your suggestions but I still have my problem !!
I looked in
C:\Users\MyUserNameAppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
C:\Users\MyUserNameAppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low
and in Temporary Internet Files folder,
deleted everything in the folders, reload my file in the browser but
it still uses information stored in a cookie
maybe you can give it a try, it is a small html application (listing
available at the end of this message)
I have a main file : "counter.html" that shows a collection of CDs
In that file, a counter is holding track of the amount of times the
user has visited the page (basically the counter increases after every
refresh in the browser)
once a maximum is reached the user is redirected to the other file
"signup.html"
so, what I try to do is 'reset' the application by deleting the cookie
physically or by resetting the counter inside the cookie just by
editing it
but for that I need to know where the cookie is located
The purpose of my app is to show students how fragile cookies are and
to be able to show them WHERE cookies are located !
thank you for giving it a try
