This should not be taken as a bad thing. The #1 worst
thing about cookies is the misinformation provided on
them. Cookies are not a bad thing.

I am sure "bad" cookies will be dealt with eventually but
for now the typical methods of identification are not
100% reliable.

i have the same problem i bough the zone alarm security suite coz it sounded s*** hot it turns out its just s*** it still allows tracking cookies in and then doesnt even pick them up.
but ad-aware does, so does anyone know if tracking cookies are dangerous or not?
