I suppose I _could_ code a cookie-maker for the search engine
on my
website but I've never done it. However, to make certain my
host wasn't
doing something I didn't know of, I performed an experiment.
First, I
DOS-deleted my entire COOKIES.TXT file (I'm using
Communicator 4.51
w/Windows 95). And, it's set up to accept "all" cookies.
Then, I
visited my site and ran searches on all individual lists AND
the global
search as well. And then, I went back to DOS and checked the
profile
directory ... and nary a cookie was there to be found. Also,
it can't
be that my server "recognizes" me (especially after
deleting
"cookies.txt"). My domain server is hosted by Hosting Masters
(New
Jersey) ... and my e-conduit to the net is EarthLink. The
defendent
enters a plea of NOT GUILTY.
BTW, Mari is referring to my website called "The Mystery
Vault" located
at:
http://alecwest.com/mysvault.htm
I archive a few mystery-related e-lists and e-newsletters
there. And
further down the page is a utility I called SEARCH-ME ...
allowing
keyword searches of each list/newsletter individually or all
archives
globally. If anyone else visits that page and finds they've
been zapped
with a cookie, let me know ASAP (and when it happened). I'll
contact my
hosting service to make certain there's no funny business
afoot.
