Hotmail imposes tracking cookies for logout

Hotmail users are now unable to log out of their account if the  
browser they are using does not accept third party cookies.

The move by Microsoft raises security concerns, particularly as PCs on  
corporate networks and in cybercafes and libraries are often set to  
reject cookies.
