But still, that breaks some functionality and I am not paranoid enough (i.e. at all) to give up on that functionality. There are far worse things out there than targeted advertising (heck, I'd say it's even good sometimes). | |

@matega You can allow a website to create its own cookie. You can also not allow Facebook to create a cookie, when you visit a website that implements Facebook Like voting, by not allowing third-party cookies to be created.

I've touched disabling cookies in my answer; what other thing do you mean by the user allowing this to happen? The Do not track header only requests servers to disable tracking, but it's up to them if they honor it or not. If they are malicious, why would they care? If they're not, why would you?
