Computer cookies,that is.
My son the computer geek(software engineer) came home with a new thing he discovered about cookies.
Online buyers are usually blessed with a few cookies donated by the online company they do business with.We all know that.
Did you know that many of these companies have these cookies tuned so that when you return to their website for more browsing,the merchandise prices are automatically bumped up a little.This is based on the presumption that you "trust" the company. My son mentioned a certain female warrior online book selling company as one of the companies that uses this little trick.
So here is yet another reason to kick the cookies off your complicator.

We all live and learn something new everyday, some of us a bit more than others. ;)

Now that would pit me off if I discovered that was happening where I shopped. :(
