[QUOTE="krs, post: 1836873, member: 67742"] I'm surprised you would say that. Why should a user allow cookies from sites they never visit? Those cookies don't benefit the user at all - they are just injected by websites that track you on the net. Take a look at the cookies stored on your Mac - I bet you there are cookies there from sites you never heard of. Doubleclick got a lot of media attention a few years back, I just looked at the cookies in Firefox on my Mac, and sure enough, Doubleclick is still around. There is also a ton of cookies from other sites I never went to. The option "Allow from websites I visit" should prevent these tracking sites from setting a cookie. [/QUOTE]
