| Meh
Personally i always delete all of my cookies after an internet session.
I know that the majority of them are harmless but i prefer to have a clean machine each time that i log on the net.I know that some sites do not like that we constantly delete them but meh , they will have to live with it.:D
There is absolutely no point in this "lets improve the image of cookies" campaign for the simple fact that the majority of mainstream users probably don't even know what a cookie is in the first place.
Waste of time and money imo |

New chocolate chip oatmeal peanut butter cookies with zero trans fat. Eat as many as you want, they're good for you?

1 edit | Mine expire after 30 days...
Long enough that I don't have to relog into every website account more often than once a month, but not so that the little buggers accumulate on my computer like barnacles on a ship's hull. Frankly I'm not THAT concerned about where I surf, but I still don't need a file with doubleclick that extends back to the jurassic period
Oh yeah, and I also don't accept third party cookies at all.

Laughable. Cookies are good for you the way polyunsaturated fat, cholesterol, nicotine and alcohol are. Somebody better tell these fools that train has already left the station and it ain't coming back. Even clueless n00bs know better than to trust cookies no matter how much propaganda gets pumped out by the sludge dispenser marketing execs.

1 edit |  Marketers: BITE MY SHINY METAL...
A few weeks ago when that United Virtualities story was
covered, and their CEO, Mookie Tanenbaum made the statement
that users weren't technically proficient enough to tell
good cookies from bad ones, Mike Healan of SpywareInfo in
one of his Spyware Weekly newsletters fired back with the
following:
"In the immortal words of Bender the robot, Bite My Shiny
Metal... You get the point."
Marketers must be among the most clueless people on the
entire planet. They still don't get it. If there's one
thing that's highly valued on the Internet, its privacy.
And I would respond to their latest campaign with the
very same words uttered by the Futurama robot.

| Some people just don't get it.
More than anything else it's the attitude of people like Mookie Tanenbaum and his PIE concept who make the case for those who don't trust cookies. They just don't get it. You do not have the right to place something on my computer that I cannot remove if I make the decision to do so.

Such tactics are committing unethical, illegal and
They say (generically) that "The user is not proficient enough in technology to know if the cookie is good or bad, or how it works," and since I am a user I am not proficient? I have 20 years experience with this stuff, hell I used a modified teletype machine to get email and Usenet in the mid '80s. I've been around the net since well before we had web browsers and the HTTP protocol. And they say that because I delete cookies I am dumb and not proficient?
You delete files - the reason is irrelevant - they a on your computer , that is all that matters. A third party comes along and “undeletes” a file that you deleted? That is patently unauthorized access.
I publicly charge that:
* and any person, company or entity who creates, publishes, and uses such tactics are committing unethical, illegal and tortuous acts.
* such remote undeletion (software) violates the following (inclusive but not limited to):
- 18 U.S.C. 1029, Unauthorized network access.
- 18 U.S.C. 1030, Computer Fraud
- 18 U.S.C. 2701, et.seq, Violations of Electronic Communications Act |
