   OK, our expectations differ.

I must agree that "UTF-8" vs "UTF-8 Cookie" can be confusing for people new to 
SciTE.
It's especially how these options affect how the file is saved.
The former writes a BOM.  The latter does not write a BOM and it does not add
a "cookie" for you.

In my opinion "UTF-8 with BOM" and "UTF-8 without BOM" would be more adequate.
This precisely describes how the file is saved.  The only thing you need to 
learn
is how SciTE recognizes UTF-8 when there's no BOM.  I don't think that "cookie"
is a commonly used term for that.
