CookieCrumbs

Inspiration

We wanted to see the cookies that are stored about people online and how they are used. This has come from our interest in cyber security

What it does

The user can input a URL, and a table is returned showing all of the cookies (and the data stored) that are collected by the URL.

How we built it

We decided to use Python. From there we decided upon using Django to run our server. It currently only works in Chrome as a Chrome based library was used.

Challenges we ran into

Everything (mostly Django not working the way we expected)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning a new framework

What we learned

A new framework, structure of cookies, http requests

What's next for CookieCrumbs

Who knows, possibly a browser extension and adding some stats about the types of cookies stored and whether they're passed between sites
