    Cookies are nothing more than a shortcut (they simplify a developers life since he doesn't have to do as much coding), they can pose significant security issues for end users. Look it up yourself.

    It's called google, stop being lazy. Cookies are benign in nature but can be used to collect demographic data and invade your privacy I always love explaining things to kids who don't know anything.

    Again, thanks for confirming you cannot cite a source for your false assertion.

    But keep backpedaling, Homie! You are very close to stepping into the actual correct answer.



    To the OP, the site is nice but I do agree with xPee that the ads are overwhelming. If people like it they will find the donate button. The banners are completely unnecessary and make it looks like you wanted to monetize any site and FF crafting was your best idea rather than building a useful site that may monetize itself from people's love and adoration.

    A very fair point. As such, all ads on the site have been removed.

    LMAO, best irony ever. Cookies can be used to invade your privacy, go use GOOGLE, because they in no way collect info on your browsing habits.

    firefox + adblock plus + adblock plus pop-up add on + no script.

    in any case, the point i was making it that most people that i know clear their cookies the moment the session is over. So it would be better to keep track of stats in a different manner than cookies.

    Cookies are actually annoying to code, as they have size restrictions per site.

    The only security risk with cookies is the transmission of personal data or user login/password data over http between the client and the server.

    I store only the crafting classes' stats, selected recipe, and selected skills as well as the saved sequences in the cookies.

    Having cookies turned on is not a requirement for my site to function.

    EDIT: addition
