    Hi!

    I would like to know what are these cookies used for:


    • _utma
    • _utmb
    • _utmc
    • _utmz
    • fa_subdomain_forumdomain_com_data
    • fa_subdomain_forumdomain_com_sid
    • fa_subdomain_forumdomain_com_t


    I know one of those cookies save any information related with the new/no new posts management because when you use other browser it might "forget" some new posts that you haven't read yet.

    Thanks.

    Hello Flerex,

    I am not sure on all of them, but these are my findings :
    data : Contains data on the user, when you decode the URI it's easier to read.
    - If you tick log me in automatically it stores data
    - Stores the User ID
    - Contains something on "Posts" and "Last" ( can't really tell you what that's for scratch )

    t : Stores visited topic ID
    Everytime I visit a topic the data is updated. Looks to store the topic IDs and the time the topic was viewed ?

    sid : Your session id
    This keeps you logged in and able to use the Admin Panel. If your session expires a new sid will be generated.


    That's all I know, I don't recall seeing those other ones you posted.
