davej Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Since cookies are site-specific do websites like Yahoo have webservices that allow other websites to obtain your Yahoo identity information? It always creeps me out when I go to some goofy little website and they can tell who I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
