I am actually perfectly fine but the guys who run this website, so you know, I've only been to this website like all day and deleted my cookies and temp internet files and you guys have some spyware on your site. If you can do anything about that, it may be helpful to the people coming here to get RID of spyware. (I mean this in the nicest, most respectful way possible.) I've gotten 22 entries on Spybot every time i visit one of these pages.

The cookies used by this site are harmless, and most internet sites like shopping, etc. use cookies to manage accounts and features.

There is no spyware at TSG.

If we got rid of cookies, we wouldn't be able to tell who you are when you post. Some of our advertisers also use cookies (like Google) so that they don't show you the same ad over and over, but that's also very standard. As said before, there is no spyware here.

I'm ok with that.
That's totally fine just making sure. I am a wee lad of 13 and need to keep my school computer safe.

No problem, and it sure doesn't hurt to ask. You got the answer from the horses' mouth, Mike is the board owner.
