Cookie Database Improvements
The Cookie Collector web service has now been brought back online following extensive database re-structuring. A little while back we made an announcement that we had suspended the collection of new cookie data via our plug-ins. This was made necessary due to the increase in demand that was over-whelming our systems with new data.

Good to Know about Google
You may have noticed recently that Google have been very actively promoting the benefits of web personalisation via cookies. On November 21 they had three full pages in the Evening Standard, and similar ads have appeared in the Financial Times and I assume elsewhere as well. They have even got the Citizens Advice Bureau to endorse their efforts.
