I see the number of guests is an unbelievable number again.
Thought this was fixed many months ago.

Some of those are duplicated from different o2 hosts.
In addition I've also got:
_utma
_utmb
_utmc
_utmz
cmRS

Making 27 in total including the duplicates.

Don't know it this complies with the recent EU regulations regarding cookies.

Don't really care if it doesn't, think I'll start blocking a few to see what happens.

Yes I only counted them once if they occurred across multiple URLs.

Funny....I don't see those that you've posted.

Edit : I think some of those are GoogleAnalytics....and I block that with Ghostery and I also block Coremetrics so that would explain any differences.

I've just reported it to Lithium as a bug, so let's hope they fix it soon

[Anonymous]

Which....the number of cookies being used or the number of users online ?

Hi O2MACH2,

I've reported the number of guests online as the bug and the cookies as a possible cause of it.

But you have not questioned the extraordinary large number of cookies being used ?

Hi O2MACH2,

The number of guests really looks like a bug to me and it's something that clearly sits with Lithium.

Do you feel the same about the cookies?

[Anonymous]

The number of cookie just looks like incompetence / sloppy web design -- I'm sure this is a O2 issue not a Lithium one.

You're doing it again Leonard !........you're not answering the question that was asked.

Did you question why an extraordinary number of cookies are used ?
