    I only mentioned it, because I thought it might be helping to fund the hosting. It's not actually causing a problem for me either. ;)

      I religiously delete all cookies other than those for passwords, every night before I close down my laptop.
      It seems any site you go on puts a cookie on your computer and Wiki, several.

        Well, as you will notice, lurkalot, we rely on the ads revenue, and donations that quite a lot of our members give, to pay for the Host Server costs. All the Admin Team are unpaid volunteers who love GC and do the job because of that.:coffee::snorky:

          It's all about marketing information and selling that information on, Riley.:dunno::snorky:

              That's exactly why I mentioned it. They are not working because by default certain browsers are blocking them.. ;)

                  I subscribe to a private members only board, It's mostly used for household hints, gardening and hobby stuff, cookery recipes and posting family, days out and holiday photos. Unless you're a member you can't view it. There's only two men and ten women who subscribe.
                  It's an "invision board" with all the usual facilities and has been running for ten years. There's no ads. So no cookies. We each pay £15 a year which completely covers the cost. We have two people who act as moderators, but it's never been necessary to moderate anything.

                    Well, since the men are outnumbered 5 to 1 by the Women:hate-shocked::heehee:, I can see why the Men don't argue, and there's no need to moderate as the Ladies do it for them, Riley:dunno::doh::whistle::heehee:

                      We don't have any heated discussions, we're all very well behaved, as no one tries to be a smart-arse. We're able to laugh at ourselves, one of our number who sadly died a few years ago was the actor Sam Kelly (Rog) of 'allo 'allo fame. He was always amusing.
