ActiveX

ActiveX is a tool for building dynamic and active web pages and distributed

object applications. When you visit an ActiveX web site, ActiveX controls are

downloaded to your browser, where they remain in case you visit the site

again.

Java Applet

Java is a programming language and development environment for building

downloadable Web components or Internet and intranet business

applications of all kinds.

Cookies

Cookies are files stored on a computer’s hard drive. Some web servers use

them to track usage and provide service based on ID.

Web Proxy

A server that acts as an intermediary between a user and the Internet to

provide security, administrative control, and caching service. When a proxy

server is located on the WAN it is possible for LAN users to circumvent

content filtering by pointing to this proxy server.

Schedule to Block

Content filtering scheduling applies to the Filter List, Customized sites and

Keywords. Restricted web server data, such as ActiveX, Java, Cookies and

Web Proxy are not affected.
