Cookies used by addThis
Hi there, as you've seen from previous posts the EU are bringing out some pretty stringent rules about the use of cookies on websites, and I've been asked to audit the cookies on our sites.
There are a number of cookies not listed on previous posts. Just wondered if you can tell me what they are please?
user_segment
atgotcode
uss
ssc
uvc
Also I understand there is an option to disable cookies. Are there any implications in doing that? Does it have any knock on effects?
Thanks.

I am calling addthis async, so I have put in the <head>:
<script>
var addthis_config = {
data_use_cookies:false
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#async=1"></script>
But addthis is setting cookies. I can't find any information about the data_use_cookies option in the API documentation.
Any suggestions?
