Personal Privacy for Computer Users ...

Overview Personal computers have provided fertile ground for data collection about individuals. Many Web sites store information about individual users' browsing patterns in files called cookies, which reside on the user's hard disk. Cookies allow personalized views of a Web site; for example, an online bookstore can keep track of all the books that a user has searched for or requested additional information on. All of these phenomena raise issues of privacy in the age of cyberspace. In this short paper, ordinary, non-technical users can get a sense of the fundamental issues that face all of us as we try to strike a balance between efficient commerce and our concerns about personal privacy.
