Log In without Cookies

If you log in with your user ID and your password to an auction, a shop, or any other web site with controlled accesss, usually cookies are written to your PC and read back by the server. This reduces the hassle with repeated entry of your personal data before each instruction you submit to the server.

Cookies are not seriously dangerous, but they enable the server operator to spy out your PC and your activities in the Internet - not actually an attractive imagination, but a common habbit.

bidfun home features a secured log in without cookies or even assisting programms (e.g. Java). Absolutely nothing is stored on your computer. Even if you disable processing of cookies completely, you still can log in.

If you enter user ID and password in any entry form, you log in and need not repeat entering these data. You'll log out automatically when leaving the bidfun home site. For more security there is a time out feature: If entering an item description lasts longer than an hour, or if you visit one single page longer than 20 minutes, you'll be asked to log in again.
Cookies

These are tiny data files, stored in the memory of your computer, to control your communication with the server. As cookies are no executable programs, real desasters are not possible. However, cookies can help to spy out your computer and your activities in the Internet, e.g. your bidding- or buying characteristics.

Therefore it is common practice of secure computers or networks to restrict cooky processing or even disable it completely. With such devices it is troublesome or impossible to visit cooky-based web sites. Even more this applies to sites loading programs to your computer for proper operation - this gives no guarantee against desasters.

Anyway, log-in is possible without cookies: Just a key-word in each, the address line and the server, and a small encrypted file in the viewed page care for secure communication between you and bidfun home. Actually not you nor your computer is identified, but only the page your browser called from the server.
