For those of you who pay attention to such things, this is FYI:

This morning I ran AdAware, something I do every week or two. Imagine my surprise when it showed, in the 11 critical items, 1,353 hits from someplace called "tacoda.net". So I visited http://www.tacoda.net and found (to their credit) easy information about opting out. At least, some of the sources of cookies will let you opt out, others are tougher to shake.

In particular, look up Tacoda's "Use of Cookies Statement" and find the opt out information. From there, you can visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/consumer/opt_out.asp to attempt to opt out of the rest of them.
