Unhappy

I've been to Doubleclick.com and did there "Opt-out" and still continue to get their cookies. Has anyone else had this problem?

mejohnjr, If you are using IE5, 5.1, 5.5, go to tools>internet options> Security> restricted sites. Click on sites and enter this: *.doubleclick.com and *.doubleclick.net
You won't get their cookies again.

The doubleclick opt out works by placing a cookie on your machine telling doubleclick that you dont want personally tailored ads. Not really an opt out, but what do you expect from an information gathering service. Warning they now know that you will not conform.
