At least one, perhaps two, of the geocities banners on this page:
http://www.lugnet.com/cool/banners/
is trying to send a cookie each time the banner is loaded -- bad bad bad.
Can't have the CLSotW page sending cookies out to people like that. :-(
I have to figure out which images are doing it so that I can remove them
(and/or ask the owner to fix them so they no longer send cookies). It
doesn't look like all the geocities banners send cookies -- only some.
How can I easily figure out which ones are doing it? I have a hunch they're
from Jeremy's banners because those two show up as broken links when I
reject the cookies one by one manually.
Cookies are a Good Thing, but servers should *only* send them when the user
has explicitly asked for one. Any other use of cookies is Evil. >%^E When
the banners were added originally, they didn't used to do this.

p.s. Tamy, Zlatko (if you happen to be reading this) your image URLs no
longer work. :-( Did your files move?
