Why the cookies? huh?

[boomer]

Each time I enter the forum, I get a cookie planted in IE. That's 'cause I can't enter a forum without cookies being enabled.

Why in heaven's name (a southern expression ONLY) does somd.com need cookies planted on every Jane & Joe who comes to take a peek?

If there's a reasonable explanation, I'd love to hear it.

da boom, again

Are they peanut butter?

I guess you would have rather had a choc chip one.

If cookies are "planted," wouldn't they better be called "seeds?"

Cookies are part of a huge government conspiracy to track where you go on the internet....

Well, ours only track where you go on here so when you click the "New Posts" it knows what to show you - dinky stuff like that.

The only benefit to us is that it also tracks your IP so if you cause an insane amount of trouble I can complain to your ISP. We've only had to do that once in nine years that I remember.
