can anyone help me with a question reagrding vb and cookies?

I have been using a VB app for some months now and today I have found one the websites it accesses has banned me for excessive use. It is mainly due to me trying to get rid of some bugs in it so I accessed it a lot in the last few days.

I have tried deleting cookies in both IE and firefox as well as clearing cache etc, but I still cant access the website using my app. I can, however, access it using IE or Firefox.
It is when the program uses the INET control that it gets the banned message.

I am sure the solution is pretty simple, but I have trawled the net and found nothing. Where does VB store cookies, for example?

I just did a quick search and it appears that a lot of websites are blocking this control due to programmers that are using it for spam bots, rakes etc. I hope this is not the case for you however I think it just may be what happened. You may want to contact the owner of the site to see if this is the case.
