I built my good friend his first computer recently and one of the first things he asked me was how to clear his cookies.... I wasn't even sure he knew what a cookie was

Can't say for all, but about 90% of all our sales come with ref codes. So it seems that about 90% of my surfers don't know how to delete cookies or just don't want to delete them. That's my personal statistics

I call BULLSHIT on this "study"! Half of all web surfers don't even know what the fuck a cookie is and the other half probably couldn't even find them on their PC.

Keep in mind there are also TONS of programs like Evidence Eliminator (is that still around?) and just about any spyware removal program will delete cookies

you can block cookies and delete cookies but http://XPays.com will track you. Any program relying on cookies to track you chose to do so with the intent of fucking you. Use programs that are hard-coded. IP tracking and Cookie Tracking is for suckers.
