I did an informal study using Superantispyware, my system, Dell dual core, 4 gigs ram, 64 bit.
So first I went to Google home page and out, no cookies.
Next, I went to google, then RHP, no cookies.
Then google, plus APOD (astronomy pic. of the day), no cookies.
And no surprise, google, plus CNN home page. 5 cookies.
Then Google, CNN home page, plus looking at one news story, 7 cookies.
It seems clear the more commercial the site, the more cookies. No big surprise but I wanted to know how many they stuck on your system.
This test didn't take as long as I thought, with my rig, superantispyware runs through its entire test in less than 10 minuets, pretty fast I thought.

Originally posted by sonhouseOne surprise, in a discussion with RJ Hinds in the spiritual forum, we talked about the retina and the fact that humans have blood vessels in front of the cones and rods. He posted a bit about a new discovery in that field about a retinal cell called Muller cells. So I did a google search for Muller cells and found a medical site talking about the function of those cells. It turned out, I did my cookie check and that site which I thought would be cookie free actually gave me 8 cookies. More than watching a story on CNN.

It's funny, Superantispyware did not detect cookies for this site or APOD.
Looks like superantispyware is only flagging cookies that it deems non-beneficial to the user but beneficial to the sites for marketing purposes (the ones that you have to agree to on many sites).
