At least I think we got the question answered ;)

On second inspection (from the in-car this time, comparing apex speeds and
braking points to my own), the grip levels don't look that much different
than std.  But if they're not, the driver definitely has a light right foot.
It's a clean lap with very little sliding or wheelspin; methinks not easy
with 600+ hp... ;-)

Nope it doesn't. Every time I click a link and see another web page, it
logs me out by itself. Sometimes I don't even go anywhere else and
suddenly I'm "not logged in".

It's a nuisance. All those 'login' sites are a nuisance. A big nuisance
with bells on.

Fine, but if I just wanna click a link to your site if it's mentioned
here and can't just look at a pretty picture because "i'm not logged
in", that's a nuisance.

I don't use (or trust) cookies, so yeah, it may be fair but it's still a
  nuisance.

Q.e.d.

I'll do it but it's still a nuisance of a (dis)service. And personally,
I don't like nuisances, especially if they can be avoided.

I like your site, don't get me wrong. It's a credit to the simracing
community. But that "you're not logged in" message every friggin' time,
that part is and will forever remain a nuisance.

Just allow the damned cookie.

You're a acting like a ***y fool. Stop whining. This is not some
multi-national company you're complaining about, this is a free service run
by like-minded enthusiasts.

If you want to be cautious with your internet settings then fine, but don't
complain when your self-imposed restriction causes you a tiny bit of
inconvenience.

I understand your security sentiments, personally I disable active scripting
in IE, but if there's a site I want to see badly enough that needs it, I'll
enable it.

This one's worth a cookie.

Seriously, cookies are not dangerous.
As for your personal privacy, I think your IP adress, and webserver-logs
(not to mention your ISP's logfiles) reveal far far more than a persisted
variable (only readable from that very page) in a textfile.

Instead of writing this post, you could have used the same time to
register to solve all those big nuisances with bells on.

I delete my cookie cache once a month or so, just out of principle and each
time I remember how many places I have to log in again.... cookies are good
mmm'kay :)

Mikkel

If there was no reason, this ***y fool wouldn't have anything to whine
about. Ergo, it seems there is.

I know. And their "login" system is flawed & a nuisance nevertheless.
What do you want, should I proclaim things are just fine (and not a
nuisance to me) when I feel they are not, just because it's free?

Like I said, I think the site is fine, just having to (re)"login" every
time because the site decides by itself you're "logged out" (again) is a
nuisance.

There is no real technical reason to use cookies or login systems,
period. The Web was conceived (on a NeXT) as a system for free flow of
information. If they want me to "login" (and again, and again) every
time just because I clicked on a link and ended up on another web page,
fine, just don't expect me to not judge it for what it is: a nuisance.

No site is worth risking your privacy for, imho. I trust (and like)
Mikkel's site just fine, I just don't trust cookies and I won't activate
them every time for just one site.

Regards, Ruud

I know *most* cookies are innocent. Mikkel's are probably perfectly
innocent. I just don't trust them in general, because there will always
be companies or organisations who will abuse them. So I turn them off by
default, and for a reason.

Possibly. But that doesn't mean I should trust cookies anyway.

Besides, I'm a Mac user - in general, I'm not likely to get marketed
and/or hacked anyhow  ;)

Sorry Mikkel, I'm afraid they're not (see my quote from the European
Parliament a few postings ago) although I think *yours* are just fine  ;)

It's just that I don't wanna turn them on and off the whole time, and my
cookie managers so far don't seem to help either (Mozilla just gives a
choice between 'enable' or 'disable') and even if I state that your site
*can* set a cookie, it regularly seems to log me out at random, mostly
after clicking a link which lands me on another web page. Dunno why it
happens but it sure is a nuisa... well, you get the picture  ;)

Regards, Ruud

As said before on this thread, cookies are the least of your problems
if you're worried about your privacy on the net.

Why can't you just allow cookies for sites you trust?

You've progressed to 'blithering idiot' level now. Did you quote that ***
from a helpfile?

Here's a sentence that makes sense:

You state you have a problem, you know of two ways to fix it, but instead of
choosing the solution that requires a very small amount of effort on your
part (log in manually), you choose the solution that requires a large amount
of work by someone else (to redesign their site) just so you can have a
slightly easier life.

That's a pretty good definition of WHINING.

No, there's no need to say it's fine, just don't complain about it when you
have a workable solution already. You get what you pay for.

Looks like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place then.
