I have done absolutely *nothing* to place any cookies on the web site. I made a very friendly, generic web site. You just go there and see what you want. Usually any firewall program will explain exactly what "security risk" you encounter, if you click on a link like "more info." I dumped ZoneAlarm a year or so ago because it literally "didn't know friend from Foe." I got tired of getting hundreds of security alarms just because ZoneAlarm thought my ISP was invading my computer every time it tried to send me mail. I had Outlook Express set to check my email every 10 minutes. I use a cable modem, which has an "always on" connection. **** I'm using a second browser window to visit my web site now, and I have received NO security or privacy alerts. In contrast, I get them all the time when I visit Free Stuff here at Renderosity. I have Norton Internet Security, because I believe that program has a more realistic interpretation of exactly what constitutes and "invasion." It just plain works better too. *** I have an idea you don't know exactly what cookies do anyway. Cookies have a bad name these days because some of them are misused by web sites. One use of a cookie is a "place holder." You cannot maintain a permanent connection to a web site because it is just not practical. The cookies will keep your place marked. When you want to see more, then your browser goes back out to the web site, and fetches the next page, etc. Renderosity uses cookies to keep your user info so you can access the services. Etc, etc. **** Again, I have no code in my web site that gives cookies. I do nothing to invade your privacy. I don't ask you to sign up before you can view my site. The same goes for my Freebie and Tutorial Site.
