Either I was not clear or misunderstood. The "security" issues I raised have nothing to do with the subject (Rodclan) web site. They have to do with each persons personal computer and how it is set up for navigating around the Internet. Usually, one cannot visit a website without getting a "cookie". If you look in your "cookie" file, you will find one there after visiting most websites. For example, I just "visited" the CZECH Mail List web site home page and these are the "cookies" that were placed on my machine (after removing all cookies!). Site Cookie Name ancestry.com RMID ancestry.com _3howards_ zedo.com ZEDOIDX zedo.com FFcat zedo.com FFad zedo.com 305,109,15 zedo.com ZEDOIDA zedo.com geo As one "navigates" around the site, the cookies will change or more willl be added. The only way to avoid it is to disconnect your computer from cyberspace. Again, it is how each computer is set up that determines what is put on that computer. If the site doesn't like your settings, it will tell you to change them, or else you will not get full functionality; ie, access to the site.. Sorry about the misinformation.
