Anti-Spyware Companies Promote Cookie Deletion

Anti-Spyware Companies Promote Cookie Deletion
There is a heated debate over the possible threats that cookies pose on your computer. Most cookies are safe, but concern over possible threats compounded with the tendency of many anti-spyware programs to label cookies as threats mean that computer users are loath to allow cookies onto their system. Many businesses rely on cookies to get information about customer interests but do not use cookies to get personal information and the declining acceptance of cookies means less information for businesses and less ability for them to tailor their web sites to meet customer interests. Still, in the culture of fear that exists right now I think most computer users are going to err on the safe side and delete all cookies.
