Aren't you familiar with the dreaded cookie monster?

Of course. That had escaped me :-).

Seriously, though, if I go somewhere like "Amazon" I _want_ it to know who I
am and what sort of things I've bought in the past so that it can recommend
to me things which might reasonably be expected to interest me. Where's the
harm in that?

Regards,

Chris
