After having found 2000 + Cookies and wondering why things were show, I found a program at ZDnet.com
called Cookie Pal. It filters all cookie activity. Wonderful sites have cookies, ads have more, etc. but the
filter was working pretty well, but not perfect.
Then I found ALL the AD sites had to let you OPT-OUT of taking cookies, check theu the privacy statement,
they MUST have one.
Some of the ad sites I Opted Out are Imgis.com, Doubleclick.net, Focalink.com, Valueclick.com Hitbox.com (4 websites)
and will do more/
A good link is CookieCentral.com:
Jim: Ps check your accounts on Hitbox.com and see what they know of you.
