Yes ofcourse no one thought to use proxies, most websites block the proxy ip long before they go live so good luck but slim chance of that working. Also a cookie only stores information about you, it won't store your address cause it isn't needed, your address is the computer with the cookies on duhh. A server will use a cookie system to block you, storing an address on its local files and reading it when you enter the site.

Negative. your tracking cookies do not log your Mac. if you delete the cookies it will delete things like stored email addresses, log on information etc. so in essence, depending on the cookies it may or may not. if you get rid of them all, no.
If like the previous poster listed and youve been banned from a site, its either an IP or Mac address ban.
BUT there is a way around it. a few ways actually, and no you dont necissarily have to get the site to unban you.
You would have to get your isp to reset your ip address, (release it and issue a new one, Refresh your router or connection if you have one) and/or use a utility to change the mac address on your nic, or get a new nic.
OR if you really want to get froggy, look for a free web proxy provider that you can use to proxy your connection through. Easy google search.

You need to delete cookies on a regular basis to keep the RAM space at a level for your computer to work good. Do not worry about going back to the site . Just go.

since you got banned deleting the cookies won't cancel the ban they banned you nick/ip addy. you can not get unbanned from your end the site has to do it.
