Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for preventing the unintended leakage of cookie data. In one embodiment, a browser application stores cookie data from a first network site having a high-level domain in a client computing device. A classification is assigned to a second network site having the high-level domain. The cookie data is sent to the second network site based at least in part on the classification rather than the default behavior of the browser application.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a client computing device;
- and
- a browser application executed in the client computing device, wherein when executed the browser application is configured to cause the client computing device to at least:
- store cookie data from a first network site in the client computing device, wherein the first network site has a high-level domain;
- assign a classification to a second network site having the same high-level domain;
- and
- make the cookie data accessible to the second network site based at least in part on the classification meeting at least one predetermined criterion rather than automatically making the cookie data accessible to the second network site under a default behavior of the browser application.
