+==================
+ Cookies in Dillo
+==================
+
+The current specification for cookies is RFC 6265
+( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265 ).
+
+Cookies are handled by a dpi (plugin) which shares them between your
+instances of Dillo.
+
+Current cookie limits are: 20 per domain, and 1200 in total.
+
+When the dpi exits, cookies that you have ACCEPTed are saved to
+~/.dillo/cookies.txt, and ACCEPT_SESSION cookies are forgotten.
+The dpi normally exits after a period of inactivity, but you can force it to
+exit with the command "dpidc stop".
+
+
+=====================
+ Controlling cookies
+=====================
+
+Out of the box, dillo rejects all cookies.
+
+
+If you want to accept certain cookies, you can specify rules for different
+domains in the file ~/.dillo/cookiesrc. The syntax looks like:
+
+#host         action
+DEFAULT       DENY
+fltk.org      ACCEPT
+.host.com     ACCEPT_SESSION
+
+Line 0: Comment line begins with '#'.
+Line 1: Deny all cookies from all domains not otherwise specified.
+Line 2: Accept all cookies from fltk.org, and save them to
+        ~/.dillo/cookies.txt when the cookies dpi exits.
+Line 3: Accept all cookies from all subdomains of host.com, but
+        do not save them when the dpi exits.
+
+
+If you are positive that you will never want any cookies, you can
+configure/compile Dillo without cookie support. The option is:
+./configure --disable-cookies
+
+
+===================
+ Cookies & Privacy
+===================
+
+ Cookies can be a severe threat to personal privacy. The pages you
+visit can be tracked, logged, and associated to a personal data-record,
+allowing the possibility of building a detailed profile of your
+browsing habits.
+
+ This data is sold to companies that profit from direct use of such
+information (SPAM, Spying, etc).
+
+ If this data is cross-referenced with other databases, they can end up
+with more information than you have about yourself.
+
+ Some people may tell you this is "paranoid". But please, take my words
+as those of someone who has written a web browser, a cookies implementation,
+and who has deep understanding of HTTP and cookies.
+
+ The dillo project is especially concerned about privacy and security
+issues. Our advice is to avoid cookies whenever possible and at most set
+ACCEPT_SESSION to specific, trusted sites.  -- You have been warned.
