| 252910 | 2004-07-17 01:44:00 | I run this programme and it quarantines and puts things in a box. Low - Cookies One that it mentioned was Red Sheriff. How many times do these cookies come up y can't they be eaten instead of kept and how many and for how long are these kept. I thought it would just kill them (naive?) |

They are used just to identify that you have been to a website and not who you are per se, only those more paranoid about covering their tracks are usually concerned. Red Sherrif is a large organisation that audit website traffic. They are used basically to count visits, and therefore to allow payment to advertisers based on the number of visits. If you visit twice, it would be counted as 1 as the cookie would indicate you have been there before. You can delete them, but they will come back as you visit sites. Many sites require cookies to be enabled to gain access or retain access. |

| 252912 | 2004-07-17 02:38:00 | Hi Sherilee Agree with GF regarding the futility of deleteing some cookies. I recently used CCleaner and in a mad moment deleted all of my cookies. I have had to enter my ID again to sites where I am a regular visitor and where, formerly, I was accepted at face/cookie value. | Scouse (83) | ||
