I looked at it briefly, but after 10 cookies from all over the place, and a popup window, I pretty much left, since that's what I do popup window sites... And I dunno which cookies you are concerned about. But here's how you can fix it: Go into your browser preferences, and turn on the setting that says something like "warn me before accepting cookie". Then clear out all your cookies and quit the browser and start it again. Visit the page, and watch what cookies you get when. There are some that you send several times per page. Don't do that. For any single site, you should only need to send me one (1) cookie to uniquely identify me. After that one (1) id is sent, you know who I am and can track anything else you need server-side.
