First of all, thanks for the common sense here.  I have never understood 
the paranoya on so many lists about this tracking thing.  We're being 
tracked in all of our life experiences.  Those who rave against tracking 
cookies, which, as you point out, enhance the web experience for multiple 
reasons, don't think twice when  using a credit card on a purchase, using 
their saver card at a grocery store, discount codes to save money on 
purchases, coupons, placing their Social Security number on   forms and 
all the rest.  Yet, these and more track us in some way -- mostly 
innocuously and without consequence.  If anyone thinks that this tracking 
is meant to be personal, then I'd suggest that they have an inflated view 
of just how important they happen to be in the grand scheme of things.

Relax, use proven antispyware software and forget about it.  The media 
hypes on this thing as writers are required to come up with stories for 
their publications, and folks eat up this kind of thing.  So what if you 
are being tracked; it is aggregate tracking for the most part as none of 
us are hardly worth the time and effort for anyone to be truly interested 
in how we individually spend our onlie webbing.





The most important thing about you is what you believe about God, because
what you believe about God determines what you believe about everything else.”

A. W. (Aiden Wilson) Tozer, 1897-1963
