Sorry last message cut off! Will re-enter it. Hi Wolf I think the option to allow our computers to accept "cookies" is a bad idea. As this would allow any website to do this. That opens you to a lot of tracking from them. You can't just pick & choose which site to accept cookies on. It is either all or nothing. Re-entering information is probably the best & safest way to go on this.
