Common Craft should make a video about cookies, javascript, and security concerns 2 cheers

When I’m dealing with users I often have to explain in laypeople terms about cookies and javacript. Namely, why having both enabled allows for all sorts of good things to happen with websites that you frequent. The biggest concern folks have is security. They turn cookies and javascript off out of security fears, which are often just misunderstandings about how this stuff is used. I’d love a CommonCraft Show vid that explains what cookies and javascript do and also seriously addresses the average user’s security questions with respect to these two thingies.

I’d love to send this video out to concerned users as an educational tool.

Should do this

Interesting thought Daniel. My first impression (like you mention) is that there might be a bigger opportunity here that is more about security/privacy, of which cookies and javascript would be elements. Good one!
