Identifying the same internet user across devices or over time is often infeasible. This presents a problem for online experiments, as it precludes person-level randomization. Randomization must instead be done using imperfect proxies for people, like cookies, email addresses, or device identifiers. Users may be partially treated and partially untreated as some of their cookies are assigned to ...

Despite their best intentions, people struggle with the realities of privacy protection and will often sacrifice privacy for convenience in their online activities. Individuals show systematic, personality dependent differences in their privacy decision making, which makes it interesting for those who seek to design 'nudges' designed to manipulate privacy behaviors. We explore such effects in a...

Abstract  This document specifies a way to create a stateful session with HTTP requests and responses. It describes  three new headers, Cookie, Cookie2, and Set-Cookie2, which carry state information between participating origin servers and user agents. The method described here differs from Netscape’s Cookie proposal [Netscape], but it can interoperate with HTTP/1.0 user agents that use Nets...

Cloud-radiative effects are expected to control many aspects of the current and future climates, ranging from the large-scale circulation of the atmosphere and intra-seasonal variability to climate sensitivity and precipitation projections. However, investigations so far have been carried out using individual models and various methodologies. To identify robust effects and facilitate physical u...

A 35-year-old man was brought by ambulance to the emergency department after a single-vehicle collision; he was eating cookies while being extricated from the car. Upon arrival, his face was covered with purple icing. He was not oriented to time or place, his speech was garbled, and he could not follow commands. Vital signs demonstrated tachycardia and hypertension. He bore stigmata of anabolic...

HTTP-only cookies were introduced eight years ago as a simple way to prevent cookie-stealing through cross-site scripting attacks. Adopting HTTP-only cookies seems to be an easy task with no significant costs or drawbacks, but many major websites still do not use HTTP-only cookies. This paper reports on a survey of HTTP-only cookie use in popular websites, and considers reasons why HTTP-only co...

Cereal Chem. 65(3):244-247 Apple fiber was characterized by chemical and physical methods and volume by 14%. Apple fiber was added to cookie and muffin at a found to be a good dietary fiber source and superior water binder to wheat replacement level of at least 4% without a large adverse effect on cookie and and oat brans. Addition of 4% hydrated apple fiber to bread reduced loaf muffin quality.
