I called AppleCare today about the ever cookie, zombie cookies and now Fingerprinting way of scattering cookies all through our computers. The Tier 2 tech said that those cookies depend on Java and that even though I'm not using it, the sites I go to are using it. So, that's how they can get it into my Mac. That kind of made sense.

She also said that Mojave has blocked Java completely, even when one goes to another site, so she thinks that may take care of it.

What do you guys think? I've been avoiding upgrading to Mojave. What are the pros and cons of Mojava in your experience?

Thanks.
