Quote from: Oldjim As I blocked all OpenDNS cookies I am not too worried
It's also worth noting that as OpenDNS is a DNS resolver, and doesn't provide or enforce a http proxy, then the only time you'll pick up an OpenDNS cookie is if you actually visit their website using a browser. Just using them as a DNS resolver won't result in cookies being saved on your computer.
Anywaysup - anyone really really worried about DNS stats collection should either stay on dynamic IP or run their own recursive name server

Which is exactly where you are taken when you mistype a URL in your browser!

Very true
Still not a real world problem though.
