blocking web sites

[Pete Smout]

hi,
That I knew, that is the reason they want me to use their site!

My concern us what happens after I have visited their site do those cookies
enable tracking of my general interneting? And how come I need root access
to remove them? My browser is never run as root so how do they get there?

I really don't know anything about it but it seems underhand to me!
