For those who want to watch or view their cookies on IE, just go to start>control panel>internet options> - on the general tab in Internet Properties, you'll see browsing history & 2 buttons - Delete and Settings (yes, same place you go to delete your cookies!).

Click on Settings, then View Files. Either resort from the top/"Type" field or scroll to find "Text Documents".

Notice they will say "Cookie:yourname@www.whateversite", along with date/time when it was first created and also, once done, when it was updated.

Also notice that if you have NOT cleared these cookies as you should, there will be an overwhelming number of them - which ensures cookie clutter! NOT a good sign.... cookie monsters do reside on our drives, along with those lil puter gremlins...so avoid both.

I used to check my cookies during offer completion and good thing, too! Twice the cookie did not appear for the trade site I was working on so just logged out, cleared again, and reentered. Saved myself some burned offers that way and also frustration at other times as if there's no cookie for the offer...no sense in beating myself up waiting for it to credit:) Yes, there are...and will be...dead offers on sites from time to time.

Ensure proper crediting...use Firefox as an alternative browser for the freebie world:) Just a suggestion...good luck!

IE 7 is terrible. I had to downgrade just to get the browser to work again.
