Not all Web browser "cookies" are bad. They're what let you continue to access a website without re-entering your password on every page. Without cookies, it would be necessary to enter your ID and password again.


Tracking Cookies and 3rd Party Tracking Cookies take the regular cookie process one step further and sends a log of your online activities, usually tied to your Internet Protocol (IP) address, to a remote database for analysis.


Deleting ALL Cookies will remove the Good Cookies as well.

I don't delete the good cookies on sites I regularly use, including this site, but I do delete tracking cookies on all sites. Most of the other sites I go to and am required to login, dont keep my login info on the tracking cookies, so I need not login again.

Why does this site?

I use the Mac Cookie program for cookie control.
