I don't endorse the use of cookies, and I think they're overused. Still, the way the Web is going, there are more things to think about. Hi AHalio, I did those cookie pages more than a year ago. With the wide spread use of cookies these days, my call for a cookie free net seems to be of an outdated cause. But when I read back those pages I still stands by my view.
Cookie is no doubt a technology destined to be, and has already been, abused.
Just look at how an antiquated TV rating model being widely adopted to the net advertising through the use of cookies. Yeah, maybe cookies do not track you and me personally, but they do track us collectively and demographically. If you think all these are just an inevitability of commercialism, then I rest my case. Otherwise, I invite you to do as I do, render your browser's cookie file unwritable. If we can't beat them, at least we can refuse to cooperate with them.
