I just went to the website. It attempts to install bass cookies three times
and attempts to load a Kounter cookie once. Whether or not any of this has
the potential for injury, I don't know. I have software in place that
routinely blocks all cookies and pop-ups and I prefer web sites that don't
try to load their applets on my computer. If a site says a cookie is
required to use it, I leave the site. It appears the bass site can still be
used with cookies and pop-ups blocked. Maybe Mr. Bass can explain the
necessity and purpose of his cookies. Just exactly what do they do and what
information is harvested from the users' computers. Are they "tracking"
cookies?
