I still don't understand, Are you saying that session cookies get left on a machine after you close the session. do you know what a session is?, Do you know what a cookie is. When cookie data gets transmiited are you saying that if you are using a secure connection the cookie data gets sent out of a secure connection. Are you saying that you can't encrypt a cookie with an algorithm.

Adios
