Re cookies:

Raging Bull does use cookies. This is what I have on my system from a visit there some time ago (with a few random number changes):

I checked on things here by running the beta site with "Warn before accepting cookies" turned on, and by looking at the cookie that was written to my disk. This version of SI seems to care about the cookies only at login. Along with authorization (login) information (since I accepted that option), it stores the customization of the toolbar in the cookie. It doesn't to read or write cookies anytime within the site.

And despite what some may want you to believe, a site cannot "track everything you do on the web". At best, a site can track what your machine is doing on their site, and perhaps retrieve some information about what you've done on a selection of other sites since a server can only ask for a specific cookie whose name it knows. But then again, the web seems to be a font of paranoia, and there are some who are happy that way, so if there weren't these sorts of things to worry about, then something else would be needed.
