Cookies cleared, but can travel agenc?

Cleared my footprints in AOL, which includes cookies. However, I have saved e-mails on AOL from travel agencies. Travel agencies use cookies to track interest and quote higher prices for travel if they detect their cookies. Are there cookies in my saved e-mails? How would I rid myself of those if they continue to exist in the saved e-mails?Cookies cleared, but can travel agenc?
Cookies are not saved in your emails!


However, those mails from travel agencies might have some links or scripts which connect, and may be download cookies from their websites, whenever you open those mails. So even if you cleaned up all the cookies from your computers, by opening those mails you can still download those cookies, and you may need to clean them up again.


However, the cookies are browser specific, i.e. different browsers do not share cookies. eg. Firefox is not affected by the cookies stored in your PC by IE, and vice versa. So you can use a different browser to book your travel.


Better still, you can use Firefox 3.5 Private Browsing feature, which does not use the stored cookies in your computer AND does even stores the cookies installed during the private browsing session.


Hope it helps
