Hi, my pseudonym is Big Hed. I got that name from a stick figure I created by the same name. I won't try to say I'm brilliant or excellent at advice. I will simply say that I will tell you the truth, or the best logical reasoning I can give you in cases of opinions. You may not like my answer--and I may not always be right--but you can judge for yourself the worth of what I have to say.

Yes, but why so many cookies? I can understand one cookie for tracking (and it seems that Frontpage does this by default, because I think I get alerted of one every time I visit a Frontpage-designed site). But why does one site need to send me 5 or more cookies? (This doesn't even count third-party cookies from advertisers.) (link)

Cookies are mostly harmless, but it sure gets annoying thinking that all of these people are tracking your information somehow.

Go to this site and download a nice little (free) application called CookieWall. It will detect all new cookies and you can have it notify you and ask you whether you want to keep it or always block it. Most of them I set to block, but on sites I log in (such as this one) you need to have it keep the cookie.
Usually I don't run into more than two or three per site, though three is kind of rare. Most of the time it is the advertisers. For me, I have 50 blocked and 15 to always keep. Just use CookieWall and you won't have to worry about any one cookie more than once. It's really easy to use and it does the job well.
