Vince.
It's a sensible topic, but I've got my doubts about the possible
solution. First, I'd like to know that the EU has intention to do after
25 May if browser don't change. Second, with Firefox I've already
enabled the "always ask me" policy for cookies and I usually refuse
anything that I don't like. It's fine for me, but it's so intrusive that
I doubt any casual navigator would keep that settings. So, in general, I
think that things can be improved on this topic, but not so much.
