antiaircraft Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I thought they were called tracking cookies, not cookie grabbers. Sorry to here about your account though... *geek hat on* Tracking cookies are completely different from cookie grabbers. The term 'cookie grabber' refers to malicious code that is designed to read data from cookies which it shouldn't have access to (always somehow bypassing browser security measures to do so). A tracking cookie is simply a cookie (normally actually quite benign) used by some organisation to try and learn about your browsing habits - the information gathered is usually used to serve you more relevant ads. :glasses02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
