I keep seeing a "cookie alert" while I'm at the Poser forum. The cookies are coming from DAZ?! I['m not currently at DAZ, but only at Renderosity. Is this kosher?!

I am getting the same cookie alert, it seems there are cookies tied to the images Chad linked to. I am guessing it is because the pics are on the daz server. No biggie, I just blocked them.

because DAZ has cookies attached to their images in that post. you'd have to ask them why they are doing it.

Are they going to give us milk to wash them down? Because I'm having a hard time swallowing them...

Could be a way to track who references to their images, and where; and who looks at tham, and where.

Virtually every "banner-ad" company will place cookies to track down statistics about the watchers. It's the only way to trace a single computer/user through changing IP addresses.

The interesting things is that this was a concern awhile ago when someone complained about receiving cookies in Free Stuff. Now it doesn't seem to be a concern at all. Last I knew people objected to the type of cookies that track someone's internet travels. DAZ has no business at another web site, and surely shouldn't be tracking someone's internet travels from another web site. I figured that Renderosity would rightly see this as an undue presence from a competitor, if nothing else. At least Norton Internet Security denies the cookies.

Tracking users across websites is one purpose, but banner-cookies may also make sense for a single site, since you can track users across sessions. If the server logs show that a banner got loaded 10.000 times a week, then they typically don't know if it was 5000 users seeing it twice, or 1000 users seeing it ten times. Giving you an ID code solves this.
