A question specific to the Local. I like to check what cookies get loaded by sites, and it appears that the Local really goes to town. My delete and then log on exercise seems to show the Local adding well over 20 cookies. Any comments?

Cheers ! Next question. Internet Explorer can be set to only save cookies from sites on your favourites list. I cant see a similar setting in Google Chrome. Have I missed it ?

In other words, needs setting manually for each exception as I had gathered. So IE wins on that count. Pity it crashes and is slow.

Thanks again. Will give it a go !

ps Now I can be blunt and say I am not impressed by any site which has to load so many cookies onto users. And I haven't seen this number elsewhere.

You'll be surprised how many sites that does this smile.gif
How many times have you been browsing online shopping sites and then a few minutes later seeing the same stuff in a banner add on a different site?
