Cookies, privacy, mIm

[Bob Cherry]

Cookies aren't all that dangerous however there are many sites which go way overboard on them.  One site, Beverely Hills Software has up to 30 just on their home page.

One problem which does arise is that each file on a Windows-95/98 system (normal FAT) occupies an entire cluster (32K Bytes) and thus even though the cookies themselves are small, they can fill up one's disk since hundreds of these nuisances occupy considerable disk space.
