SITEMETER
(Posted 2007-08-30 22:08:40 by basscomm)

Starting immediately, I'm removing the Sitemeter statistics from the
sidebar. The information was only kind of helpful, but digging around today
I noticed that at some point Sitemeter has begun sending out tracking
cookies along with the bit of code required. The tracking cookie is fairly
low-risk, it tracks some of the sites you go to on the Internet, but it
_is_ something that needs to be made known, _and_ was pushed out without my
knowledge or permission, which is very wrong. 

Apologies to the two or three of you that looked at the statistics, I may
have other publicly-available stats at some point. No tracking cookies
required. You can get more info here [

you wish.
