Cookies are scripts to record access to a host/server. Cookies fall into the script-centric domain, not in the page-centric domain. Like a "laundry ticket," a cookie lets the server/host record your access. Cookies were created because HTTP-HyperText Transfer Protocol is a "stateless" (without record) protocol. That is, HTTP does not create/save a session with the server/host. That is, in order to keep track of the laundry, Amazon and thousand of other sites to use cookies to create special presentations in your browser such as recommended list of products to buy based on your purchasing history. A cookie contains text-only that is placed in the RAM-Random Access Memory on your computer and the saved to the hard disk drive when the browser is closed (X).



GUID-Global Unique IDentifier is a text-character string (message) based on an IP-INternet Protocol address contained (embedded) in the down-loaded software program or a browser cookie. The GUID is a type of spyware/adware that identifies the user to the providers server/host program. Some programs require the user to enter an email address to download the program or access certain areas in the web site.

The insidious part is that the Spyware-Adware - GUID (and associated IP address), email and other content tracking information can create a log of IP addresses visited by the user which can be saved for marketing, legal or other reasons. This web log can be saved in a database and cross-referenced against other databases such as credit-banking, public information (driver's license) and location services such as telephone number, address, etc. as well as police records. This information can be sold without legal restrictions regarding transfer of this information to any third-party.
