I am sorry to see the down votes happen, but I can tell you that seeing your questions bring up memories of conversations I&#x27;ve had with friends and family about this issue. They, too, were curious about the issues of tracking and cookies, but in my experience nobody&#x27;s opinion changes beyond their initial gut reaction, and extended discussion on the topic do not result in much listening-- only non-stop talking. So I wonder if the down votes in this thread are a silent attempt to discourage discussion along this route to prevent a flame.
