More on Cookies

The typical popup (unless you just allow cookies) says that a site is trying to put a cookie on your computer. I wish it would say WHY it wants to put it on your computer and what it will transmit. Some sites want to put several cookies on your computer.

If the cookie wants to track how long I'm on the site, and which pages I click on - that's fine with me. That's useful knowledge to someone, and doesn't hurt me.

If it wants to install programs for future use on my computer - I object.

If it wants to capture information from my computer - i object.

If it wants to send me spam in the future - I object.

If only you'd tell me what you want, for some of you, I'd let you in. If you don't tell me - oh, well, Deny, Deny, Deny

A good rule of thumb. Regretfully, few hold firm to that and once the company gets your info, they share and sell and GOD only knows what else with it.

William - I see that all the time with my naive, retired husband - he responds to an ad, or clicks something on the web, and he's inundated! Some of these sites probably make more from selling e-mail addresses than they do from the product.
