> by forcing me to accept cookies I really don't understand this mindset of a default behavior (e.g. use of cookies) is equivalent to _forcing_ something on someone. You have lots of choices around cookies because the program that stores and shares them is under your own control. Which sites you visit is under your control. Your Internet connection is under your control. God knows why we need a nanny state that represents a small minority of the world to decide how the world wide web should work.
