Could not duplicate results of this "beacon test"
Sorry, but I am still not believing.
I fired up Internet Explorer (for MAC), Firefox and Safari and tried the test with all three browsers. As I opened up the dreaded EBAY emails (using webmail within each browser)...even the very one that had notified me of the suspension of one of my EBAY accounts, no cookies whatsoever appeared in my browser's cookie windows.
Just to make sure the cookie windows under preferences for my browsers were working, I entered the URL of EBAY.com and yes, voila! a couple of cookies appeared from EBAY. But absolutely none appeared when I opened EBAY email after EBAY email within each browser using webmail.
Then...I tried it with MSFT Entourage (the MAC equivalent of Outlook Express), and no cookies showed up in any of my browsers either. None. And by none I do not mean a certain amount. |
