Herb, very nice site.

You see my question above to The Maartian about the EU regulations. In your case, I see that a GoDaddy template was used. Is your site also Hosted at GoDaddy? The reason I ask is to determine who wants the cookie. Is it GoDaddy tracking how many people access a site developed with one of their templates, or is it GoDaddy tracking access to their hosting service?

[I make the assumption that since you did not know initially that cookies were being used, the cookies do not benefit you directly. The exception would be if the cookie is used by the Hosting service and they offer you statistics about who accesses your site, from where, how often, what pages are favorites, etc.]

Obviously I don't have a clue how to use a cookie other than to dip it in milk if it's an Oreo or eat it if it's anything else. I would assume Go Daddy is collecting the info for marketing purposes to litter your feed with adverts. Yes... Go Daddy is the site builder/template and they also host the site. I've been with them for quite a while. Just recently decided to join the subscription model for my website since it's really super easy to build and update as needs change.
