If you mean my security settings, you are right, in a round-about way. But there are certain websites that I can't view conveniently without having cookies and the need to reload the info over and over. Can you see the difference between cookies and spyware? I can. The arrogance of certain keyboard warriors sometimes amazes me. I assume you allow NO cookies onto your machine. Feel free to enlighten me.
Usually, I don't. I make exceptions for sites I really, really want to get information from, like FreeRepublic. I never run Java or Javascript off of web sites. Nor do I tend to run any software that I don't have in source.
