Better watch for tracking cookies!

« on: August 21, 2011, 09:03:08 AM »

I have been picking up a trillion (87 today) tracking cookies. It is definitely from this site. Still getting those pop ups. ITS keeps your membership free. Boooooo on the ITS. That should have been fixed a long time ago! Probably will go back to free next round, paying doesn't really seem to have any positives except you can organize your sweeps better but I can deal with that and if the tracking cookie mess doesn't stop will probably look elsewhere. P.S. you know when they are installing the cookies on your computer because the site freezes up!

The way I understand it, the cookies come from the sites you choose to go to when you enter sweeps, not from SA/SP. When I look at my cookies, I can see where each one is from. You can clear them after you enter all your sweeps every day.

Occasionally, when I re-enter a sweeps it will tell me that I need to allow cookies in order to enter.

You can also select from your settings, and you do not have to allow third-party cookies.

I use Ad-Aware, and do the "smart" scan every day or so. It only takes about 15 minutes, and it deletes all the tracking cookies. You can dl for free. Also, check your settings, and disallow cookies.

Personally I love SA plus and see allot of advantages, the time I save by being better organized definitely helps me win allot more, plus on days I am super busy I can enter my fav. category, so still get some wins, as far as cookies, yes that is something you get when entering sweeps from any sweeps place in my experience, from what I see they all come from the companies having the sweeps and not SA, so for me just put up with cookies for all the real cookies I win. Good luck and hope things get happier for you.
