I think some people wrongly believe that if you delete your cookies, other people cant track your movements on the www from another computer.

As I understand (I was told in a quite lengthy nerdy version from my other half),this isnt true, as its not *your* cookies that are telling others where you have been (unless they are viewing files at your puter). Its the website's that you are members of and their prominence with the search engine used.

Ie, if I searched a username that I use on another forum, my name and profile comes up on google, if I clean out my cookies, that username still comes up.
