If you haven’t already noticed it, I have recently activated a plugin called What Would Seth Godin Do? Well, basically, what the plugin does is that it uses the presence of cookies to treat returning visitors differently than newbies.
Traditionally, you will see the following welcome message the first time you visit:
“I will not be as ridiculous as to ask you to subscribe to my RSS feed since this is your first time here. Please grab a cup of coffee, make yourself at home and feel free to browse the archives :) Thanks for dropping by!”
And the next time you drop by, the message will no longer be visible.
However, if you’re a FireFox user and you “Clear Private Data” each time you close your browser window, you clear your cookies as well. Hence the next time you drop by, you will see the above message once again. To avoid seeing the welcome message everyday, you can exclude your cookies from being cleared by going to Tools > Options > Privacy > Private Data > Settings > Uncheck the COOKIES checkbox > Click OK.
So, my dear readers/visitors, how many of you clear your private data each time you close your browser window?
nope, i hardly clear my cookies :)

lol, I couldn’t dream of doing that – its so much of a convenience. I do have my own profile on XP to prevent others from logging into my accounts.

Once a while, when I am hardworking to clean it :biggrin:
This is only necessary if you have lots of private data stored inside your computer e.g e-mail username/passwords, credit card numbers, etc..
Yes, I do clear my cookies around once a week.
Interesting plugin – pefect realization Seth’s web marketing idea.
