Funny, that setting seemed to affect everything on LJ before. Even if I have misunderstood something about its functioning then or now, IMO that is Right way. I shouldn't have to succumb to it in order to turn it off. Also, this sounds like it is accomplished by a cookie from Snap (how else can this affect "all websites"?) which would mean I have to do it on EVERY COMPUTER I USE which is Wrong. (Not that I won't have to do that anyway, but I mean, it should be an LJ-contained account setting, so I set it once and it holds no matter where I log in.) And you people who delete all your private info every session? Sorry, you'll have to turn it off every time. WTF?
