Actually, they each have an extra underscore on front, I think. __utma etc. These are from some non-PHP session/cookie management setup, I believe. Google analytics will cause that, as you are hitting Google's tracking. Likewise many other popular "plug-in" HTML/JavaScript stuff like banner advertisements, inktome, akami, etc. I'm not quite sure which goofy system needs FOUR friggin' cookies with a, b, c, and z after __utm, but it's sure annoying as hell to those of use who don't accept cookies willy-nilly... I pretty much stop visiting any site that needs to set more than 1 cookie, as I assume its developers haven't got a clue what they are doing, and therefore I don't want to give them any personal information, as I don't trust them. I let the __utma crowd slide, as I know it's some big-time everybody-use-it mess, but I'm still less likely to give any substantive input to such a site. Call me paranoid. PS Still haven't figured out why you want to report me to PayPal as a fraud when I don't sell anything through PayPal... :-v -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
