Um, I'm pretty sure deleting a cookie or too isn't going to leak my private data. If it does, it is because some third party website defaults to doing the stupidest thing possible.
- londons_explore 5y agoThe leak is that you think you've deleted the right tracking cookie, but since the site uses 20 cookies for tracking different kinds of state you haven't.
