> This website uses anonymous cookies to enhance the user experience. This sounds weird, or wrong. Does anonymous stats need cookies at all?

  If you want to track how many times users revisit the site, you could do that anonymously by setting a visit counter cookie, e.g. VISITS: 1, VISITS: 2, etc. This would track the user over different IPs, but since the cookie only has a counter, it doesn't tell you if two people with "VISITS: 2" set is the same user. That's the first example I can think of off the top of my head.

    Sure. Buthow would it "enhance the user experience"?
