For about a year, the EU Cookie Directive's forced UK websites to ask if you’re willing to accept cookies (files that track what you’ve done) on your computer.The idea is to make websites more transparent, and to allow you to stop them tracking if you want to. But often, saying “no” means you sacrifice usability. Is it taking the biscuit?
Which of the following is nearest to your view on the cookie directive?

If computer users don't know that they are tracked by websites, and/or they don't care enough to educate themselves on how to avoid giving all of their details away, then they shouldn't be using a computer in the first place!
Rant over!

I just delete them regularly.
What I find particularly annoying is the adverts that litter sites that relate to your recent browsing history. Causes difficulties if you share a computer with a partner and have just been shopping for their christmas present!
