Cookies that are auto-restoring after deletion

[pixi]

I have a very persistent cookie. I delete it and it is back almost
immediately. Sometimes it is back 3 times.

Why isn't this sort of thing outlawed. Our privacy in most areas is going
down the tubes.

A little off topic.. Are you by chance descended from James Leeper of
Washington and York Cos. PA. He lived at the time of the Revolution.

Actually the screen name is a spoonerism - a word or phrase where the
first letters of the words are mixed. Thus slate-leeper = late
sleeper. Note that I signed my post:

"(9/11 and the aftermath will) require a re-evaluation of the importance of
some of our specific civil liberties. I think there are going to be debates
about what can be said where, what can be printed where, what kind of
freedom of movement people have and whether it's OK for a policeman to ask
for your ID just because you're walking down the street."
