Because they check your cookies.

Don't go to the website with a machine wih party poker on it.

Re: So i get this email from partypoker......
 

oh ok. stupid question, but how do i delete my cookies? I want to clean up this machine. I can not afford to be even suspicious. thanks.

Re: So i get this email from partypoker......
 

I have looked at the sample search recently and I don't have any cookies from their site. Are you sure they set a cookie?

They could check your history I suppose. I guess I'll delete that stuff myself.

To the OP: They take screen shots too. I don't know if they only do this when Party is running or not though. Were you running Party when you checked Prophecy?

Re: So i get this email from partypoker......
 

Depends on your browser. Firefox - Tools->Options->Privacy, IE - Tool->Internet Options->General, Opera Tools->Advanced->Cookies (Delete Private Data will do it, but delete other stuff too)

Re: So i get this email from partypoker......
 

Apparently Firefox is exempt from this for some reason, only IE is affected. Something like that.

fwiw, a buddy never uses prophecy and kicked down his password. occassionally, i'll check it out for fun while i'm playing, while running party, and have never received any emails of this sort. I stay far, far away from IE too.

Re: So i get this email from partypoker......
 

i use it w/ firefox and have never had a problem

That makes it okay to use it then I assume?

if you put any huge emphasis on stats like these, I believe it only hurts yourself, because you make plays you normally wouldn't make because you believe that the villians hand selection is garbage (which it can be), but doesn't mean that villian hasn't made a monster/happen to have monster hole cards this time. If you just play your game, you outplay these people anyways. I look up stats (usually my own) out of sheer curiousity. I see no "unfair" advantage out of prophecy because 1) as mentioned above, I don't believe it to be an advantage at all ... and 2) even if it were an advantage, anyone has the option to purchase it... to me, it's like saying "anyone who bought and read HOH can't play here, as you have an unfair advantage over the rest of the players"
