Banner ads

[Library Internet Resources Co-ordinator]

One can always complain to the search engine companies themselves working
up the company hierarchy starting with the email address and moving on to a
snail mail letter to the CEO. Keep track of all replies in case you need to
refer to them in later correspondence,

If one is talking about public stations there is little reason in most
cases to have cookies enabled.
