Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt01653)

On the other hand, why is it that after I leave the site, I have that cookie 
left on my machine, just benignly sitting there doing nothing (I hope), 
since I am not involved in counting any longer.

I don't need it on my machine, whether or not I am going back to that Page 
or not.
