It's the holiday season! Cookies are everywhere! I know I've eaten way too many this year!...........Those little Danish butter cookies are very addictive............
Name a website that doesn't put cookies on your computer. Now that would be news.
I'm not the biggest computer expert, but the story even says this is pretty darned common.
As far as I am concerned, this is a total non-story and, again, more Tokyo-Rose type bullsh*t. Forgive the language, but I'm sick of it.
If I'm wrong I'll thank anyone for the correction in advance.
Let me get this straight..The NYT,WP, ABC, NBC,CBS and the rest of the lame stream media can put cookies on your computer..but not the federal government trying to hunt down terrorists? I wonder if they realize how ridiculous they sound complaining about this?
The media is getting desperate for dirt.
They were probably planning to write a story on how hard
it was to navigate the NSA site, discovered it wasn't,
and decided to make that the story.
Every "outraged" liberal who reads this on any on-line
news site will be doing so on a site that not only uses
preference cookies, but runs ads with real tracking
cookies, not all benign.
A website that places cookies on your computer -- oh the horror of it.
CNN is cooking this up something fierce, telling its naive viewers that this a "tracking mechanism" to spy on web surfers.
Yep, but this slant of the story can make it seem as if Bush really is trying to keep his eye on us. No mention of how easy it is to delete cookies either.
Here go to my website and I'll give you a cookie too.

OH, The Horrors!
Exactly, the cookie monster is built into all computers.
Just delete them and put your history folder on 0.
What a load of malarky.
God Bless America!

At least they don't bombard us with pop-ups!
Ya mean the same ones used by every other site to track your computer? Run AD-AWARE SE [It's free], and I guarantee that many will be surprised by who is tracking their every move.
Most browsers can delete and block cookies, no biggie.
That's right. Now if the NSA starts putting pop-up ads on their site I might be a little miffed. No excuse for that! ;-p
If No Such Agency wanted to track you or me they wouldn't have to wait for us to vist their web page. Media idiots.
Macaroons are the bomb. Ooops better not say bomb.
