It looks like a CBS eye with a red circle with a white bar. I clicked on it and received a privacy report that indicates that a lot of cookies from Discus are being blocked. Since MOL is the only thing I know that uses Discus, what is this all about?   lseltzer Citizen Username: Lseltzer Post Number: 1089 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Wednesday, September 18, 2002 - 7:44 am:        Have you recently installed Internet Explorer 6? You are probably seeing the new privacy features based on the P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences) standard. You can find a technical explanation of Microsoft's implementation here. There's a user-level explanation here. Also, the sysop could create a privacy policy for the site which would eliminate most of the work for users.
