That would be an invasion of ones privacy and illegal. Cookies can only store data given to them by your domain, that you put on there.</p> <p>------------------</p> Mon, 22 Nov 1999 19:21:00 +0000 Randall comment 1003577 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/serverside-scripting/can-cookie-tell-me#comment-1003576 <p>I don't think a cookie can do anything but tell you if it exists/give you info based on its presence. It could tell you their IP, by working in conjunction with a script, since most IPs are assigned dynamically this doesn't tell you much. There are some good perl scripts at cgi-resources that have the ability to do net lookups/fingers (if the client's ISP lets you finger then you can resolve their username when they connect to your site) and even store this info to a log file.<br /> -j</p> Mon, 22 Nov 1999 05:02:00 +0000 jwhitener comment 1003576 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
