I didn't, but I'll check into it. Can you tell me the specific URL?
There are many, many pages on that website.

It's not your cookie, it's Yahoo's. I'm assuming that's who's hosting
your site?


That's what I figured. I explained this in another recent post to John.
Yahoo collects some data to record hits,
where they are linked from, etc. for every page. It's a tool for the
website owner to use to optimize the website.

It's nothing to worry about. Virtually every web hosting service does this,
I was told.

Yup, it's not even persistent. It ends with the session so it can't be
used for tracking.

I also discovered that I can turn it off in the site management utility.
There really isn't any need to though. It's harmless and I can't access
any detailed information other than the type of browser and resolution
settings used for the majority of visitors.

It's primary purpose to record the number of hits to each page.

I have to clean that site up. Over the years I've added many stand-alone
pages to post pictures and stuff.
Good thing it has unlimited storage.

Well, I found it yesterday, and I haven't been on Eisboch's site for a
few days, as far as I can recall. It must have a 'little' persistence.
