sorry but i still don't get what kind of information could be stored in my browser cookies that twitter would be able to use to find my irl contacts? like unless they're looking by location, but it's still hard to pick out exactly who i know based on that. unless you're saying they can read cookies from other websites, like facebook or linkedin or something
