JavaScript is an open-source programming language designed for creating web-centric applications. It is lightweight and interpreted which makes it much faster than other languages and is integrated with HTML making it easier to implement in web applications.
JavaScript is critical for web development. Without it, much of the special effects and dynamic functionality we see happening on web pages would not be possible.
JavaScript is a scripting language that is used to create and manage dynamic web pages, basically anything that moves on your screen without requiring you to refresh your browser. It can be anything from animated graphics to an automatically generated page content.
When most people get interested in web development, they start with good old HTML and CSS. From there, they move on to JavaScript, which makes sense, because, these three elements together form the backbone of web development.
JavaScript is an essential programming language. Here's why:
JavaScript is used in various fields from the web to servers, and here's a quick list of the significant areas it's used in:
KindRideShare.net uses JavaScript primarily for cookie management and to show/hide containers embedded into the page. For example, when you click on a button that opens a dialog box on the page it JavaScript working on the page that is making that possible. Also, when you submit any data without leaving the page, or content is loaded into the browser without having to refresh the page, that too is JavaScript working in the background. JavaScript is also used to collect data about use behavior, to help me better understand how my pages are working for my end-users.
The short answer is NO! Without JavaScript being enable visitors will not be able to navigate the website, request additional content on a page, or access embedded content.
JavaScript can be dangerous if the proper precautions are not taken. It can be used to view or steal personal data even when you don't realize what's going on. And since JavaScript is so ubiquitous across the web, we're all vulnerable.
It is never advisable to allow third party JavaScript applications to run within a website without having a through knowledge of JavaScript and its array of uses. Any webpage that links to a JavaScript file being hosted at a third party site run the risk of allowing the third party to collect a ton of data related to user behavior and the content they are viewing. It can also be used to serve the client computer with downloadable files that can be executed on the client computer without their knowledge. It is for this reason that all third party JavaScript files being used at KindRideShare.net are carefully inspected and thoroughly tested before being installed. Furthermore, it is the policy at KindRideShare.net that no third party JavaScript files be installed on any page within the domain.
The cookie is a very small text file placed on an internet user's hard drive. It is generated by a web server, which is basically the computer that operates a website. The information the cookie contains is set by the server and it can be used by that server whenever the user visits the website. A cookie can be thought of as an internet user's ticket into the website.
Below is the content of a typical cookie. This one is from KindRideShare.net:

The codes will only make sense to KindRideShare.net servers.
Cookies for the internet were originally developed in 1995 by browser company Netscape. The word 'cookie' comes from 'magic cookie,' a term in programming languages for a piece of information shared between co-operating pieces of software. The choice of the word cookie appears to come from the American tradition of giving and sharing edible cookies.
Cookies make the interaction between users and websites faster and easier. Without cookies, it would be very difficult for a website to allow a visitor to fill up a shopping basket or to remember the user's preferences or registration details for a future visit.
Websites use cookies mainly because they save time and make the browsing experience more efficient and enjoyable. Websites often use cookies for the purposes of collecting demographic information about their users.
Cookies enable websites to monitor their users' web surfing habits and profile them for marketing purposes, for example to find out which products or services they are interested in and send them targeted advertisements.
All cookies are the same. The only thing that separates them into "types" is now they are stored on the client computer.
Cookies that are stored in the computer's memory only during a user's browsing session and are automatically deleted from the user's computer when the browser is closed.
These cookies usually store a session ID that is not personally identifiable to users, allowing the user to move from page to page without having to log in repeatedly. They are widely used by commercial websites for example, to keep track of items that a consumer has added to a shopping basket.
Session cookies are never written on the hard drive and they do not collect any information from the user's computer. Session cookies expire at the end of the user's browser session and can also become no longer accessible after the session has been inactive for a specified length of time, usually 20 minutes.
Cookies that are stored on the user's computer and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies can retain user preferences for a particular website, allowing those preferences to be used in future browsing sessions.
Permanent cookies can be used to identify individual users, so they may be used by websites to analyze users' surfing behavior within the website. These cookies can also be used to provide information about numbers of visitors, the average time spent on a particular page and generally the performance of the website. They are usually configured to keep track of users for a prolonged period, in some cases many years into the future.
Adobe Flash is not as common as it used to be, but websites that use Flash for video clips or animations will store small files on your computer that are known as Local Shared Objects (LSOs) or Flash cookies. They can be used for the same purposes as regular cookies.
Flash cookies can also back up the data that is stored in a regular cookie. When you delete cookies using your browser controls, your Flash cookies are not affected. So, a website that served a cookie to you may recognize you on your next visit if it backed up its now-deleted cookie data to a Flash cookie.
You can control Flash cookies. Adobe's website offers tools to control Flash cookies on your computer.
No. Cookies are small pieces of text. They are not computer programs, and they can't be executed as code. Also, they cannot be used to disseminate viruses, and modern versions of both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers allow users to set their own limitations to the number of cookies saved on their hard drives.
Cookies are stored on the computer's hard drive. They cannot access the hard drive - so a cookie can't read other information saved on the hard drive, or get a user's e-mail address etc. They only contain and transfer to the server as much information as the users themselves have disclosed to a certain website.
A server cannot set a cookie for a domain that it is not a member of. Despite this, users quite often find in their computer files cookies from websites that they have never visited. These cookies are usually set by companies that sell internet advertising on behalf of other websites. Therefore, it may be possible that users' information is passed to third party websites without the users' knowledge or consent, such as information on surfing habits. This is the most common reason for people rejecting or fearing cookies
