You're being stalked by a guild of cookie assassins. A tracking cookie is essentially an agent that observes you as you go about your daily internet business, making note of what pages you visit, how long you stay there and what you do there. This information is then passed on to the assassin cookie, the elite killer who waits until you're at your most vulnerable before eliminating you with a flurry of razor-sharp-chocolate-chip-ninja stars. :ninja:

Run Epicfail. Run. And don't ever look back or go near the biscuit aisle in the supermarket again. :ahhh:

It can be bad, but they're usually harmless. Basically a cookie is something a website stores on your PC so it can remember your settings and steal your cookies if you're not careful enough.

You can change a "do not track" setting in most browsers to cut back or eliminate most of them but really it's bad unless you're paranoid.

It does. Cookies are the things that are stored on your computer that a website looks at to see what you've done with it, usually passwords.

You don't have to disable all cookies unless you want to repeatedly enter information on every site every time you visit it. Just go into your browser settings and enable the "Send a ‘Do Not Track’ request with your browsing traffic" option under privacy
