Re: [SG] spam
Hi All -
There are programs available that prevent web sites from installing
cookies in your computer or that remove the cookies as you exit the web, as
some sites require the cookies to work properly. The program I use is
called "Guard Dog" - it barks when a site is trying to install a cookie,
suggests that I either allow or refuse the cookie, depending on the site,
and removes all cookies when I exit the internet. I have no financial stake
in this company and I am sure that there must be other programs that
operate in a similar manner.
