Impact of HTTP Cookie Violations in Web Archives

17 Jun 2019  ·  Sawood Alam, Plinio Vargas, Michele C. Weigle, Michael L. Nelson ·

Certain HTTP Cookies on certain sites can be a source of content bias in archival crawls. Accommodating Cookies at crawl time, but not utilizing them at replay time may cause cookie violations, resulting in defaced composite mementos that never existed on the live web. To address these issues, we propose that crawlers store Cookies with short expiration time and archival replay systems account for values in the Vary header along with URIs.
