Cookie and Data Miners are not scanned for or dealt with in this release
since they pose minimal priovacy problems only and are not well designed to
deal with in an automated fashion. Maybe there will be something to help
you see your cookies in the future.

Data miner is sure a much scarier name than cookie, isn't it. That is what
it is, though. Both names are probably accurate, but as you can see, one
gives you a much nicer feeling for the effectiveness and throughness of a
given application.

The beta builds distributed thus far don't scan for cookies. This
functionality is likely to be present in some future build of the beta.
