Re: Tracking cookies (utm) being forced here!

said by Mele20:

Fx silently set 4 utm cookies because I came here (because until now I trusted this site) before I configured all options so Fx was set to accept filthy third party cookies.

I have been seeing those cookies for several years. I'm not sure why you have only recently noticed them.

I am really, really disappointed in this site. I am a very long time (12 years) paid member and this site thinks it is ok to spy on and track me. GEEz.... This is my home site...and you do this now? Betray me? Betray my trust in this site?

Can somebody explain to me what all of the fuss is about?

I read a message at dslr, and they make a database entry about that, so that the blue arrows work to only show me unread messages. Of course they are tracking me. They could not provide that functionality without tracking me. They could do all of that tracking with just the member-id cookie. That they find it convenient to also use some other cookies does not seem to be any reason for great concern.

I'm not understanding this paranoia business.
