You're not going to stop it, and out here, what's illegal?

What it boils down to is a matter of ethics, and it's wrong. But the web techies build this feature into their sites because they know somebody is going to fly in off an engine like Google or MSN. And take something, like a picture. Without stopping in and signing up or something else. But what if I or you is out collecting stamps or avatars or wallpapers, and have already taken a quiz, or signed up for a product? I've already done that...but the site developers who use this ingenious(hijacking) software don't see it that way, and don't care if you just got a computer and want to pick up something here or there. Those sites don't get anything when you visit and don't leave your number. I don't what these 19 tracking cookies are for, do you?
