Never been bothered by cookies personally.

My accounts dont have admin access. If someone can somehow inject some malicious code into the halndful of sites I browse on Windows, can break out of my browser, break out of UAC, and then break into another account with admin rights, all without me knowing, hell I'll give them my laptop, they deserve it. If someone can do it in Linux I'll give them two.

I'll raise you another laptop if you succeed.

Must admit that I've never understood the fascination and paranoia some people have about tracking cookies. I don't go out of my way to avoid them and I very rarely delete them unless I have problems with a website and then I'll only blat the ones specific to that site.

I'm the only person who uses my computer so it's more hassle than it's worth to delete cookies just to have to log into various forums etc each time.
