I just installed an addon for Firefox that allows me to view the cookies
for a site.
I checked against a pure Wordpress (no links to other sites) site anf I
can see 5 cookies.
Three are wordpress session cookies (I did login)
Two are timer cookies that will expire after 24 hours, i.e. when the
session will automatically log me out.
Now lets look at say
www.msnbc.com
12 cookies plus a plethora of tracking sites.
One of the cookies expires on 31 Dec 5000 Yes in the year 5000 - This
is called TOptOut
There are some others that expire in 2032. called jt_num, jt_uuid
Another expires in 2021 called TZM
These AFAIK, break the UK Law.
There is info on the TOptOut cookie here
