Well, I wouldn't have guessed it, but after a week of being on vacation with nary a cookie in sight, I was overjoyed to return to work (aka Cookie Connection) on Wednesday, and to be inundated with all of your fabulous creations! I couldn't have asked for a better, more pleasant way to ease back into real life! So, thank you!

So that no one has an unfair advantage in making it onto a hot list, the algorithm is secret even to site administrators. Only our platform developers know the code, which has been exhaustively tested by those developers and Cookie Connection staff.
