Why all the cookies?

Last week when a person visited the web site only about 3 cookies were attempting to latch on the computer now not only do you have about 10 abovesecret cookies but now you've got a belowtopsecret and a politics, and a new "fastclick.com" cookie.

Why all the change?

There are a minimum of two cookies for each board to manage your account status (logged in or not).
That's six.

There's also a guest cookie that is part of our traffic software...
So that's nine.

FastClick.com serves some of our banners. The cookie is used to gauge frequency of delivery. You'll also see cookies from TribalFusion, Casale Media, and Burst Media... all of which will also place cookies.

Personally, with virtually EVERY website out there placing some sort of cookie in your cache, I don't see the need for concern. After all they're ONLY cookies.

Actually, I think the more relevent question would be, "What to do with all these cookies?"

May I suggest a nice COLD glass of milk!?

I hope they b oatmeal and rasin.
