I never bothered to check. You could erase your cache files, go to SI and see what gets cached. You could also write to webmistress Jill. I believe she would tell you the truth. Also it is almost impossible for any web site to read or write files on your hard drive. Cookies are only given back to the URL which wrote them originally, in other words, go to yahoo (or any other site) and the cant read the SI cookie. Recently there was a security hole where it was possible with a complicated email to read files off your hard drive but the sender had to know in advance the name of the file they were going to read. Although this hole was discovered, no known hackers have used this in the real world.
