Urgent Forum Tracking Cookie Alert


Recently, I have discovered That Some Of Chozo Zone's Advertisements, located at the top of the Page, Have been releasing Tracking Cookies Upon Clicking, Hovering over it with your mouse, Or Just by It being on The Page.

Tracking Cookies Are Low Risk Computer Bugs that report your actions to somewhere else, but cannot do anything to affect your computer.

As to where or who Our actions are being reported to remain unknown.

Please remain calm, as tracking cookies are very low risk bugs often released from advertisements.

With my antivirus software, I have tracked the locations of these tracking cookies, some of which Are from very foreign countries, such as Brazil, Malaysia, Jordan, And Sweden.

Tracking cookies can easily be removed from your computer as they are very low-maintenanced bugs. They pose little if any threat to your Computer.

I am doing as much as I can to get these advertisements removed, and replaced with new, clean ones.

All I ask from the Forum Member body is to run a weekly scan on their computer to eliminate These Tracking cookies from your device.

NOTE: IF YOU USE FIREFOX, AND/OR HAVE A MAC COMPUTER SYSTEM, YOU ARE UNAFFECTED BY THIS EVENT.

I will be announcing when the problem has been resolved.Just be patient.

Thank you or your cooperation-

<~CL~>

Thank you for notifying us about this. I ran a scan and removed all tracking cookies.

I looked up tracking cookies online, and they don't pose any threat at all.

So, I'll simply run a scan every so often to remove them.

I use fire fox with the ad blocker plug in anyway.  I've never seen the ads in question.  Never the less, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks LLR. This reminds me to also let you know if you use firefox, or have a mac, you are unaffected by this event.
