[quote:Anonymous Coward 15279941:MV8xODUyODE5XzMwODg4NDgyX0IyMTc5RDAw] bear in mind that some sites need to use cookies so that the webserver can tell that you are logged in as a certain user, for example. if you turn off cookies and some site that you like to use suddenly breaks or stops working properly, that could be why.

Original Message
About a week ago, I set my browser to ask if a site wants to give me a cookie.
All I can tell you is: WOW I never knew so many sites are wanting to give you tracking cookies. It just blows my mind. NOW, I rather enjoy clicking the REFUSE button. :-)
I ran a scan with spybot search and destroy. 100 trackers. UNREAL. I haven't gotten any more trackers since then. But it still just blows me away. WHY do they need to do this? Oh yea, the money...
