Cookies is cookies is cookies, they're benign unless combined with personalized information and used by third parties (ala Doubleclick) to track movement across sites, otherwise, it's a non-starter to people who know the technology.

Here, I've hosted it on my site for the skittish/people who don't understand cookies:

I really can't figure out the dumb 120 minute rule on editing your own messages. This would have been a perfect opportunity to swap out my top link with this one, but now there's no way without breaking my perfect record of zero MP/Skuzzy edits.

The site was not benign. The ActiveX controls work in conjunction with the cookies to track more information after you leave the site. It is quite possible for personal information to be gathered, the way this site has it organized. However, I will not test that portion.

EDIT: I replaced your original link Chairboy with the one in your new post.

It's a good idea to revise your settings on your computer folks. Simply refuse cookies (I have mine set to prompt and I reject almost all but from a couple sites) and I also have activ x prompted as well. I refuse that operation as well unless I know the site is benign.

As far as I am concerned there is no valid reason why I should give access to my system including it's history just to access a web site.

Blocking third party cookies will stop most, if not all the bad cookies.

I flat out disable ActiveX. I look at it like this. There is no reason a WEB site needs to use ActiveX to deliver content. If it has to use ActiveX, then it is poorly written, not in accordance with W3C standards, and subject to all types of problems it could pass on to my computer.
ActiveX is evil and the root of most spyware/malware program propagation stems from ActiveX.

How do you disable activeX?

So Skuzzy, how do I turn off ActiveX?

Skuzzy · « **Reply #29 on:** July 20, 2005, 02:43:42 PM »

Internet Explorer->Tools->Internet Options,

select the "Security" tab. Select the "Internet" zone and hit the "Custom" button. Scroll down and you will see it.

Might as well default the rest of the zones while you are here, after you turn off ActiveX. Just select each of the zones and press the "Default" button to reset each zone to its unique security settings.

In the "Trusted" zone, you may have to add Microsoft so the auto updater will work. Just select that zone, uncheck the requirement for secure connection, and enter '*.microsoft.com' and press the "Add" button.
This will allow Microsoft's WEB site to run under the "Trusted" zone. You will see it in IE, lower right porting of status bar.
