Thanks. You're right. Decipher-ability is indeed vague. Some of them are
fairly clear as to who they belong to. Others are less so. I did see
that there were quite a few with the cookie name of __utmz or __utma. So
I Googled those and found that they are Google cookies related to their
AdSense program, recording the site I came from (__utmz) and how many
times I've been to the current site (__utma).
Looks like I'll be devoting some more time to figuring out how I want to
manage my cookies, or maybe toss them.
