Question

This looks like a fairly reliable source for information on cookie stuffing. Should it be worked into the article as a source? http://www.benedelman.org/cookiestuffing/ LinguistAtLarge (talk) 03:07, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarify?

I've read this article several times, and I still don't understand how this process works. I get that the cookie is put on my computer without my awareness (and is affiliated with a different site/company), but how does it influence my decision to visit that site and do business? Does it re-route me there when I do a search for certain items? Does it create a pop-up? Does it take over my browser? That part of the story is left out completely in every description of "cookie stuffing" I've read online. It seems that, once again, we have a demonstration that people who are good with numbers are very poor with words.
