- teeja 17y ago"a cookie can be stored on a user's computer, or accessed from that computer, only if the user "has given his or her consent, having been provided with clear and comprehensive information"." Great to see that the EU is requiring people accessing other people's computers to respect their wishes. Cookies were an unfortunate direction to take, and it just keeps getting worse. It's my machine ... store your cookies on your machine.
