COOOO-KEEES! You’re such a cookie monster, John! Yes. Almost EVERY site uses cookies these days. Mostly for good reasons, though. Many times just to make your life easier when you go back, but also many times just so they can track various metrics. Those metrics include (but are not limited to): subject matter preferences, usability statistics, shopping cart maintenance, location (through your public IP) data. There are good arguments for most uses of cookies, but throwing them away is not a big deal. They will just get replaced the next time you are there. If you REALLY want to toss a sabot into their machinerie you can tell your browser to block all cookies. I think that’s more of a paranoid response, though. j. -- Jonathan Fletcher [email protected] Kentuckiana FileMaker Developers Group Next Meeting: 10/25/16 _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list Posting address: [email protected] Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/> Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/>
