Umm Jason. I hate to tell you this but there are components of ad/spyware that do use cookies. It’s just like any tech. It can be used for good or evil. Personally I would rather have a piece of software be over protective then under. The thing is the user on the other end should be smart enough to look at the cookie in question and make the determination that this isn't spyware or a component of spyware or at the very least the software should stress that this MAY be a component of spyware. At any rate I think it’s stupid that people are coming at you with this accusation. Anyone with half a brain should realize that this is a legit site. If you guys tried doing the adware thing PPCT would be a memory overnight. I don’t think anyone would accept a site that gets its cash flow to keep the site up through adware distribution. Esp from a site that consists of geeks. I would say we are more sensitive to ad/spyware then most others.
