But none of the sites I went to had any connection to JCPenney .. but I suppose that may not matter ..??
But .. some days I don't go to any websites - I'm busy working on Word or Excel - then what .. where do the cookies come from then - because I check it everyday before I turn off my computer.
Im a professional web developer, Im just telling you how cookies work. They arent set by emails unless you use an online email service such as Yahoo or hotmail and use your web browser to view them. Then the advertisements could set cookies.
If you have cookies popping up on your computer without EVER using the internet, you might want to run a scan using microsofts anti-spyware utility (works fantastic regardless of what haters say). Cookies dont just pop up out of nowhere and cant be set in an email client like outlook (unless you have security set to nonexistent).
