I have really gained greatly from this forum (frankly don't think I could have stayed with CPAP therapy without it) but I am a little concerned by the number of cookies the forum drops on my computer.  Every time I visit a new page the following seven tracking cookies are written to my computer: Doubleclick.net, mediaplex.com, 2o7.net,adtmt.com, bravenet.com, and two questionmarket.com cookies. Other than porn sites I don't think I have ever heard of a place that dropped so many cookies. While I don't think any of the cookies is especially malicious, I do consider them to be a bit of an invasion of privacy, especially doubleclick. These cookies track and record where you visit on ApneaSupport.org. The administration owes us an explanation.

The forum does NOT use doubleclick mediaplex 207 adtmt or any other tracking cookies.  The only cookie used is for session data to keep track of what posts have been read.  I think you might want to use a spyware removal tool to address this.   (the reason those cookies are getting updated every page you go to, is because THEY are tracking where you are going, not us)

Kinda technical but I a pretty sure that wasn't the case however, the good news is that after quite a long hiatus from this site I am happy to see that tracking cookies are no longer being dropped.
