Shame on you for your tracking cookies!

Not when it requires re-loggin after it's removed.

Can I ask what info you get from the tracking cookie?

I don't delete the good cookies on sites I regularly use, including this site, but I do delete tracking cookies on all sites. Most of the other sites I go to and am required to login, dont keep my login info on the tracking cookies, so I need not login again.

Why does this site?

I use the Mac Cookie program for cookie control.

Deleting cookies involves logging out of almost all accounts. Because the logins are stored in the cookies.

[jjjackson]

True, but they don't all use tracking cookies with log in.
