Charles,
The policy of rejecting all cookies is what is backwards. You don't have
to make rejection of cookies an all-or-nothing matter. You can put sites
you trust on a whitelist while continuing to reject cookies from other
sites by default. All the cookies used by this site are perfectly safe and
harmless and contain no confidential information. All the confidential
information is contained in a session, which exists on the server, not the
client. Also, the cookies used by this site cannot be read by other sites.
The cookies are simply used to identify you across multiple pages, so that
you don't have to keep signing in for everything, and, EVEN MORE
IMPORTANTLY, so that I can eventually offer greater functionality that
depends on the ability to recognize you. This is all leading toward the
goal of a site-wide game rating system, and it will not work without the
ability to use cookies to recognize you. So just put this site in a
whitelist for accepting cookies.
