Re: Straightforward solution

One of the more irritiating things I find is the name "cookies".

The name is deliberate chosen so that less tech savvy people think they are accepting a sweet treat - and not the actual thing being delivered in most cases.

Would your average grandma agree to something that said "Accept All Creepy Stalking Software so we can monitor your web browsing habits and sell that information to AOL?".

It would change the game. Maybe if just a few of us start calling them "Stalkies" the trend will grow.
