After many submissions regarding procedure, the future, etc.

I take Lutz's statement about cookies to start
a discussion about privacy.

Cookies are legitimate and it is everybody's free decision
to accept cookies.

But, the user has no control over the data transferred
or actions taken by cookies.

In my opinion, cookies as an access restriction,
a conditio sine qua non, to an official informational site,
violate basic rights of privacy and data protection.

I am very curious, what our technical experts think.
