# Muffin CookieMonster Filter

    What is a Cookie?  The best answer to this question can be found in
    the WWW Security FAQ by Lincoln D. Stein located at:

        http://www.w3.org/Security/Faq/

    There are serious privacy issues regarding cookies that are very well
    convered in the above FAQ.  Basically it is possible for web sites to
    build user profiles based on the web sites a particular user has
    visited.  This is commonly referred to as "user tracking".

    Concerned?  If so, use the CookieMonster.

    The CookieMonster monitors all HTTP requests and replies for HTTP
    cookies.  When found, the CookieMonster monster can be configured to
    eat cookies in requests, replies, or both.  "Eat" in this case means
    that the corresponding HTTP header will be removed before being sent
    to the browser or server.  Servers send cookies using the Set-Cookie
    header while browsers use Cookie.

    This filter has the following configurable preferences:

    * CookieMonster.eatReplyCookies

      Eat cookies sent by the server.  This will remove all Set-Cookie
      headers.

    * CookieMonster.eatRequestCookies

      Eat cookies sent by the browser.  This will remove all Cookie
      headers.
