Our company, Eloqua, is a company that helps other companies generate lists and prospects. We do that by enticing or giving technology to our customers to entice other people to come and register and actually take an action—to put in their name, e-mail address, and a phone number. They basically opt into a newsletter, and sometimes even opt into being tracked. What we try to do from a product standpoint is to tell companies who is visiting their website, and who is interested in what's going on. In most ways, I don't really consider cookies spam, especially from the standpoint that we are very clear about what the information is going to be used for, especially in our privacy policy at our company Eloqua, or even within our own customers' privacy policies. So I do not consider cookies spam.
