That's completely untrue. This stuff is old news- <A HREF="http://slashdot.org/yro/99/10/22/0249212.shtml" target="_new">http://slashdot.org/yro/99/10/22/0249212.shtml</A>.
Maybe I'm just weird, but to me, the idea of these companies tracking my online habits and putting it all together in one huge database, either connected to my IP address, or in some cases my actual name, etc , is more than a little disturbing.
I'll continue to monitor all incoming cookies and decide for myself which ones are necessary. If you're not bothered by this, then by all means, continue treating cookies as harmless little things.
