Personalization can be achieved in number of ways, from simple cookies, which are stored on the users computer to logging into a server (in the way which MSN Messenger does). Cookies are simple text files (typically stored as TXT files in the WINDOWS\COOKIES folder on Microsoft Windows), and will contain relevant details on the user, and the any of their preferences. As these are text files, they cannot do any damage to the local computer. Sometimes users delete these cookies, and all the previous information is lost, and must thus re-register for the system to be able to store their details. PHP transparently supports HTTP cookies.
