Quick Question - Use of Cookies for tracking

[flyingpig]

Hello All,

I have been thinking about this, and knowing that my firend was talking about how their bank has introduced a cookie that tracks sites and in particular financial stuff... I was half pi$$ed when he was telling me so I may of put 2 and 2 together and come up with 77..

But can say Sky -if you subscribe and use their website track you usage and visits to sites that organise card sharing etc?

Just a thought that I know you chaps and chapesses will have an answer for.

goog question, but as we don't talk about cs here, does it matter .

you could always look for the "i need dk at work" thread where therea thing tat makes your ip address appear Emerican.

Haha.. Work dont allow access to DK..... Working on getting that changed.

Although even visiting DK and getting tracked via a cookie would be enough to raise suspicions surely?

Does anyone have any info about tracking and the use of cookies.?!?!?

Is this possible?

I am not sure if other browsers do it but Safari 6 for Mac has an option to "Ask websites not to track me".
