This brings to mind a question: has anyone collected a list of the most
revealing KNOWN cookies in the wild? Is there a resource (site)
available with a list for me to use in order to perhaps blacklist the
URL's personally? I often find myself studying my local cookies and
have noticed repeat offenders from very popular sites that I avoid now
because of this; and I believe such a public list would serve as a way
to prevent cookies from becoming too powerful or revealing. A cookie
reporting service possibly. Anyone with a link for this if it already
exists or with the energy to compile it yourself, go for it, and plz let
us know.
