There's nothing wrong with cookies, Flash objects, etc. If you need to use them to make a web app work, fine. Our website uses device tracking to step up security when we detect abnormal usage - to protect your money!
These stupid laws and guidelines penalise the people using cookies in the legitimate way they were intended to be used. Meanwhile, the cowboys carry on storing your inside leg measurement and sexual preferences with impunity, even though all you did was click on an ad for a shed.
To paraphrase the NRA, cookies don't track people, Google does!
