Washington Post says advertisers are becoming worried about the upcoming Internet Explorer 8 and its “porn mode” for cookieless browsing called InPrivate.  Details from Microsoft:

“While InPrivate Browsing is active, the following takes place:

  • New cookies are not stored
    • All new cookies become “session” cookies
    • Existing cookies can still be read
    • The new DOM storage feature behaves the same way
  • New history entries will not be recorded
  • New temporary Internet files will be deleted after the Private Browsing window is closed
  • Form data is not stored
  • Passwords are not stored
  • Addresses typed into the address bar are not stored
  • Queries entered into the search box are not stored
  • Visited links will not be stored.”
