# No personal dig here..but..


This really isn't a dig at anyone, but why do some pics seek to place cookies?

EDIT: I'm just curious..(NO..NOT in THAT way...)

# don't be ashamed

# So?
Cookies bad or good?
(I helped save b3ta! mikenco, Fri 28 Jan 2005, 1:25, archived)
# Well er..not sure, really.
I'd guess that cookie's a perfectly fine one, dunno what it could be for though. Probably user/hit tracking?

# My server
automatically sets a session cookie each time someone visits. I use cookies in some places on the site, but even if I didn't, you'd still get that pop-up because of the session cookie. As you can see though, it expires at the end of the session, so I don't think it's really too much of a problem for most people. I am sorry if it put you off though, I want people to enjoy my site :)
