  (Can't say I didn't warn 'em !)

   I went to play some golf today all up on Dub-G-T

  A'thinkin' maybe just fer once they'd let the damn game be

  But noooo ! Reset your options, boy, yer "Putter Pal " an' "Shot"

  'cuz "Options / save" it just don't work, an' we couldn't give a squat !

   

  We're Dub-G-T,we know what's best, we won't be asking you

  Just send those bucks in like the rest an' keep your mouth shut too.

  We'll give you stuff you do not want and "Leadbetters" for free

  And VEM you all the way to hell, that's how it's gonna be

   

  We've rigged this game to limit scores out of necessity

  How else could we make tons of bucks and stlll call this game "free" ?

  Not exactly so. Log in info is in a cookie.  If that wasn't  the case then every time the cache was cleared the log in info would change.  This doesn't happen because that log in info is kept in a cookie. You're right about the actual game settings.

  Hyena has it right.  :-)

  Just to shed a bit of light in the cookie world; Local shared objects (LSO's) are commonly called flash cookies, hence the possible confusion between the two.

  I agree the login details are stored  in a HTTPS cookie and the game settings stored in LSO.
