Although I might be one of the most virulent anti-cookie
activists (I NEVER used cookies in the numerous websites
I've developped), I won't slam you...   ;-)
Nevertheless, I keep thinking that using cookies is a blatant
demonstration of lazyness for a programer (nothing personal
of course) and that there are more elegant solutions.
Furthermore, I know many end users who are virulent anti-
cookies as well, who disable systematically the cookie option
of their browser, and who get really irritated when a webpage
refuses to display because they turned off the cookie option and
who swear god they'll never visit that website again...
