Hi Barry...
If you really want to know about cookies (which I think is a big waste of
time, but maybe you have a love of trivial knowledge), you can go to the
National Computer Security Association and check their library at:
http://www.ncsa.com/library/
They have NUMEROUS articles and links to places and people who like cookies,
hate cookies, can tell you about cookies, how to stop cookies, etc.
For 99.9% of users, this is stupid to be concerned about. After reading this
stuff, you may get angry. There are some INVASION OF PRIVACY issues, as well
as possible TRESPASS issues. I got angry for about 3 minutes, did nothing,
and now don't think about it EVER.
