When The Cookie Is Not So Sweet

Recommended Posts

  • Members

The Washington Post only allows me to read so many articles a month, so I read that all you have to do to get around that is remove their cookie. That brought me to look at my cookies, and again I am just amazed at how sites that I visited for as little as a few seconds put tracking cookies on my computer. So I removed a bunch of them, especially if they had the word "ad" in them. But I usually go too far and remove cookies I want or need.

So I wondered if someone here who knows these things could tell us just why cookies are attached to computers that have just dropped in. Do they really then follow us around the internet, watching what we do? isn't that usually non-productive for them?
