Ah, but what if I kept your shoes if you did?

Law.com is going to try to keep its cookie if I allow them to. It's like you coming to my house, yielding up your shoes, but me not giving them back when you leave.

Well, OK maybe the analogy is not that great. But it's close.

Who knows how empty the sky is
In the place of a fallen tower.
Who knows how quiet it is in the home
Where a son has not returned.

-- Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966)

That site sucks so many ways from Sunday it's not funny

I use Junkbuster. For whatever reason, it doesn't bother me though I don't allow its cookies.

One fix for some sites (MSNBC IIRC), is to let the fuckers set a cookie. Then go back, edit it to something else, and change preferences to either let it out, only, or in, only. Reedit from time to time as you wish.

There used to be a bit of a push to share cookies among users. I just publicize the one registration site that I use: The New York Times: cypherpunks6:cypherpunks6.

Otherwise, just ditch the site. If you need content, get someone to send it to you out-of-band.
