What are cookies
The official explanation: "Cookies are a general mechanism which server side connections (such as CGI scripts) can use to both store and retrieve information on the client side of the connection. The addition of a simple, persistent, client-side state significantly extends the capabilities of Web-based client/server applications.

"Nobody in Europe should want to see DNT [do not track] standardisation stall or fail, it's in no one's interest. The cookie consent rules will be enforced and providers will have to comply. Nobody wants users who can't trust the web; nobody wants expensive ad-hoc solutions; nobody wants to be sued for illegal tracking." Neelie Kroes,
Vice-President of the European Commission
