Re: [microsound] forum



The message board uses cookies to instantiate your session with the webserver, which makes using the website quicker to the end user, and to allow you to return without having to manually login again. They are visit-enhancing sites, not meant to spy on you or anything... I doubt Kim has any ulterior motives there. :)

-Says the following:

So what's the use of using cookies (Except for eating of course...)?

It continues with:
'they serve only to improve your viewing pleasure.'
Which is a rather shallow argument, because cookies have nothing to do with
viewing. They are simply an identification-mark.
Also not very nice and rather an indication of a paranoid mind.
If a webmaster wants to know more of the wherabouts of its forum- members, he
can simply log the particular IP-numbers of the entrants. Cookies are not
necessary
and very irritating. Just like pop-ups and silly attachments.
