Not excatly a Packard Bell Thing

I am getting damm tired of cookies

Everyone wants to send you one
Even the most respected sites send you cookies]
that trace your every move

Some do even more than that


Mr Bill Gates is the culprit
This was not a problem with Earlier Windows
Versions
Much earlier

It is not a problem with Sun's Operating System

I can not even go to the bathroom without some
cookie knowing which hand I use

I use a blocker
It works OK
I use a spyware remover
It does a good job

There are some sites that wil not allow you on
if you block a cookie
That is their right

We need to call or write our elected officials
and let them know that this is a privacy issue

Agreed, cookies are a royal pain in the arse. But Billy Gates is not the
culprit on this one. Tim Berners-Lee and his cohorts who invented the WWW
included cookies. You'll get cookies on Macs, Linux boxes, and any other
computer with a browser that complies with the WWW standard.

I have used adaware and spybot search & destroy as well as the Microsoft settings that curb the
cookies. Cookies are harmless in that if your settings are correct no information other than your
visit should be recorded. I can recommend these two programs highly.
