Title: Annoyed at your Cookies
Post by: Spriggan on May 17, 2004, 09:53:07 AM

Ok I'm mad at TFO and Jeffe becasue their image hosting is trying to load tracking cookies on my machine when ever I view a thread where they have posted.  It's very annoying, I don't like being assulted with spyware.  For some reason Gemm's Photobucket account dosen't do that so Jeffe and him should talk and figure out why.

So why didnt you send me an Email about it immediately instead of waiting to bring it up here?

I dont get any cookies at my work acct when I access Photobucket... which is weird.

I don't get cookies because I tell it to automatically block them.

I'm sure it's where he says, since the message says which domain is asking for the cookie.

That Alex has an excellent grasp on the English language.  You'd think he was a regular visitor at the TWG forums.

I don't have spy ware, it's addaware that's blocking them.  I am getting them from Photobucket because the cookie has the Photobucket url and the account name of the person who's accout it's comming from.

It's not a huge deal since they get blocked, but this thread is more letting everyone know what's going on.

So either Alex lied to you or he has no idea what his site is even doing.
