The only ones that are useful to the user are ones that remember login details so you only have to enter the password, or nothing at all on a non-critical site such as Flickr or YouTube.

I was working with a group in Oxford and I asked them if our
tomographic atom probe machine would have to be tested for CE
compliance. They all laughed out loud.
"You don't understand. CE means Can't Enforce."
They buy CE stickers in bulk.

Oxford is a wonderful, magical place.

Can't you set up a browser that blocks cookies?
Probably block access to it. Besides its all smoke and mirrors. It does not seem to me that cookies are now the only way to track you. Many email newsletters seem to have embedded links that click through third party data gathering sites on the way to the actual page, and its happening on all sites. If you moan they say that its legitimate market research, but then they would of course.
So if the data is gathered before you get to the cookie warning, its OK presumably.

I've got one in Opera called "I don't care about cookies". I guess it's available for Firefox (quite why you'd want to use that piece of shit
browser I don't know).
