Basically anything that pops up a cookie dialog asking if it can set a cookie gets deleted. Both me and my other reviewer use IE to review sites and that is all it is used for so we have it set to ask for each cookie which makes it way too annoying to use for normal surfing.
I have nothing against cookies and realize that they are harmless but I don't have time or the desire to try to figure out if it is just to track hits to their site or someone that is going to pop a dozen consoles and try to install spywear on the second or third time the site is surfed or maybe they have already set a cookie on a previous site review and now the reviewer is going to get a the clean version and everyone else is going to get the dirty version, whatever.
It is a case of a few assholes ruining it for everyone else so now counters and cookies got banned.
I have no problem with a click to a banner setting a cookie, just passive surfing of a free site setting a cookie.
