It could get much, much worse very soon, at least for us European webmasters. The EU keep talking about banning cookies altogether, or at least requiring that webmasters make them 'opt-in' - i.e. you have to actually get the consent of the surfer before you can leave cookies in his browser.
One of my mainstream sponsors has a 'flash cookie' tracking system that apparently isn't affected by the browser privacy options. But these will almost certainly be banned or restricted by the EU crazy gang.
