Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I am noticing that since some time ago websites
are starting to 'brainwash' users to use cookies. This is often done
by displaying a high contrast banner at the top threatening that by
using their website one MUST also enable cookies.

Is there a way to avoid this new 'cool feature'?

Edward

The problem is that there is a flaw in the design of the http protocol: it has no concept of session. Disconnection is normal after any transfer. But nowadays, far beyond simple documents, the web provides real applications, more and more complex applications, which cannot work without saving somewhere data about their state, and there isn't any other place to store them than the client side, i.e cookies. But, of course, the client, as well, has no concept of a session and, therefore, is unable to clear the cookies once the job is finished. Either forbid the cookies or avoid web applications.
