Cookies are brief text messages that a web site can store on your computer. These can be retrieved later in order to identify you, or in the case of InteriorDecorating.com to track your shopping cart items. Some people turn cookies off in order to protect their privacy, however if you turn cookies off you will not be able to shop on InteriorDecorating.com . If you are concerned about privacy, the latest versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer allow you to control which web sites store cookies so you may want to upgrade your browser.

Javascript is a simplified programming language that is built in to most web browsers and allows the website to become more interactive(it is not the same as Java, although people often get confused between the two). Some people turn off javascript in order to avoid annoying things like pop-up advertisements. Since InteriorDecorating.com is an interactive web site, javascript is absolutely required. If you are concerned about the use of javascript, upgrade your browser to the latest possible version since that will include all of the current security and privacy fixes. Netscape 7 also allows you some control over what Javascript can do.

Java is an advanced programming environment that allows you to run additional software inside your web browser.

Pop-up blockers stop annoying advertisements from popping up when you visit some web sites but can also block legitimate web pages, including the WebCT quiz page and the chat page. Pop-up blockers are built in to the latest versions of Mozilla, Netscape, and Internet Explorer, and they can also be part of "toolbars" like the "Google" search toolbar.
