Editing Lynx (web browser) (section)

===Privacy===
Because Lynx does not support graphics, [[web bug]]s that track user information are not fetched, meaning that web pages can be read without the privacy concerns of graphic web browsers.{{sfn|Legan|2002}} However, Lynx does support [[HTTP cookie]]s,{{sfn|Rakitin|1997}} which can also be used to track user information. Lynx therefore supports cookie [[whitelist]]ing and [[blacklist]]ing, or alternatively cookie support can be disabled permanently.{{sfn|User's Guide}}

As with conventional browsers, Lynx also supports browsing histories and page caching,{{sfn|Senjen|Guthrey|1996|pp=136-139}} both of which can raise privacy concerns.{{sfn|Timmer|2010}}
