Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Phil.  Unfortunately we have not seen any changes since removing video entries in our sitemap associated with list (category) pages. For the two examples above (the videos associated with www.ebags.com/category/handbags/m/leather and www.ebags.com/department/handbags), I even went so far as to deactivate the video entirely in our video provider and I verified that these videos are not in our YouTube channel. This is really baffling.

The answer for all major search engines is no. There are some third party crawlers that have been created that do accept cookies. If you are using a site crawler to examine your site you might want to check to see if there is a cookie recognition function in the algo. Usually you can select to accept or ignore cookies though an internal site crawl but Google and Bing do not accept them.

Hi Shari, The best place for an answer would be with the help desk. Send them an email at help@seomoz.org and they'll be able to help you. Thanks, and sorry for your troubles!
