I read some of the links and got some good information. Some cookies are good and some are not necessary. I went to where I could see my cookies and was stunned at how many I had. I go on the internet ALOT to find OE stationery, and almost every site had "cookied" me. (AND I am NOT leaving my name, email address or anything personal.) So far I have not had any problems relating to cookies, so I'll leave them alone for a while. But because there are so many, I may have to get rid of them to free up space.

Just so you know, some cookies
ie double click for one leave spyware on your system.
One of the things I do , is use Ad-Aware
which is a freebe, that I learned about here in DT.
www.lavasoftusa.com/downloads.html
which finds & deletes spyware.
