This site has attempted to set cookies on me today almost incessantly. What's the deal, I wonder?

This site uses cookies to help you keep track of what discussions you have already been in and help determine what is new since you were on last.

In the policy statement the use of cookies was mentioned. This site is unusable without the use of cookies. But site functionality is the sole purpose of the cookie. They do things like remmeber what you looked at last and when so that when you return you can see what's new. The cookie also rememebers if you are logged in or not and so on. And that's about it.

Then this forum will not work for you. We don't hide it and never did. It's a pretty normal thing for sites such as this to use cookies. Yes, sometimes they are abused but we have never, ever done that for any reason. I know you are just being a smartass Snake, but I wanted to say it again.
