The problem is that there are good and bad cookies:

- session cookie: good

- tracking cookie: bad

I remember a time when browsers would ask you for every website if you wanted to keep the cookies and because most cookies were good cookies, everybody agreed to accept them. Later came the ad industry and started to introduce bad cookies.
