HI, I was cleaning/deleting out my temporary internet files and found numerous cookies to sites that I clearly did not visit!  These were porn site cookies.  A friend told me that an opened email could have placed those cookies on there and I do get tricked by emails that when you open you find out it is to sell "enlargement pills" or an invite to visit a porn site.
Do you have to go to a site before a cookie is placed in the file? Thanks for your help
