First let me say I love this site. It is SO educational. And also very
addicting.
Why?...is this site puttings out Webtrend cookie? Classified as tracking
cookie in SpySweeper. I thought we were fighting this. Is it really
necessary to count us?
Thank You

Well--today is April 1st--maybe the cookie is a regular ordinary cookie just
pretending to be a webtrends cookie--an April Fools joke.

That's a stretch, I know.......

I took a look at my cookies, as best I could, and can't spot anything with
webtrends name on it, especially not with today's date. Can you find the
actual cookie in question? What does it look like, in terms of file
characteristics, or content?

I'm running a scan with an alternative antispyware app to see if it finds it
on my system. I still can't spot it just looking at a command prompt, but
I'm not sure I know what I am looking for.

Hi Bill and Tom

I can sell my cookies to you... ;)

It´s both a webtrends cookie and a MS cookie
when visting a web based NG

Just to look witin the TIF folder and sort date/time.

Webtrends is no spywarecookie anyway :)

Running IE7 and of course they passes ;(

OK - I changed my cookie handling in IE7 to prompt for 3rd party cookies,
and I get prompted, and have now found it on disk.

Ad-aware did not flag this cookie on a scan, although it did flag a
different webtrends cookie.

http://ondemand.webtrends.com/support/optout.asp

may be relevant--I'll see. Nope--that didn't seem to work.

OK--This is definitely something new, and a 3rd party cookie--but not one
that, for example, Ad-aware, sees as something worth removing.

Yeah, but didn't I read that the IKEA is, in fact owned by a foundation,
which is headquartered in NL?
(Much of the furniture in our hose comes from Ikea, although very little of
it was actually produced in Sweden)

Hi Bill and Tom

Well "MR IKEA" .... really great entrepreneur ;)

http://www.forbes.com/facesinthenew...llionaires-ikea-cx_cn_0323autofacescan04.html

http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/10/BWQ7.html

He started with nothing and built up this giant company.
Hard and tough but "fair play".

Also NO "eating" shareholders ;) IKEA have their own bank ;)

The headquarter is in Sweden and the foundation is a construction
probably to keep the company in "one piece" if and when he dies.
(and also to solve tax problems)

http://www.ikea.com/

He have sons but he is really hard with them about who is going to run
the company in future.

Hi Tom

Nice ;)

Maybe too much industry made....... home made cookies are better ;

Hi

Maybe it´s necessary to also name cookies as Ewido
does - Spyware cookies.

Nevertheless a cookie from Webtrends must be a 3rd party cookie and
therefore something is "broken" in IE7. But maybe they have
a "Compact privacy policy" ;)

"Cookonuts"..... ;)

Not much information, is there? Even on the statistics tab. About all this
says is that it is a third party cookie,
