Anyone else notice this yet? - James - 10-15-2012 09:23 PM
There are cookies being stored on my computer by Facebook and Yahoo( Mostly yahoo) from sites Ive never visited before. I always delete all the cookies and block cookies from my computer when surfing. But when I use Facebook and yahoo, they don't let me log in, useless I let them store the garbage on my computer. These specific cookies, sometimes more keep popping up every time I log-in to yahoo and Facebook.
Check for yourself.

Those are called tracking cookies. They are to see what stoes and websites you visit. I use a blocking program to prevent sites from tracking me and I can still use facebook and Yahoo. There are several kinds and they work in different ways.
