It has no such policy. The proof? The 'userpass' cookie on this 'ere machine.

A sensible policy is to avoid making javascript and cookies etc a *requirement* unless they are absolutely necessary. Those oddballs who have a browser that doesn't do Javascript, or who choose not to run it, won't lose out. And the paranoiacs who don't accept cookies can still look at the site without logging in.

"Philosophy" is not the same thing as "policy". And the Facebook 'like' button. thread alone proves my point. Your example is a case of the exception that proves the rule (in the loose rhetorical sense). Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks My deviantART gallery	[reply]

It has no such policy. The proof? The 'userpass' cookie on this 'ere machine. Of course, but you see no-other cookies. If in firefox, Start privacy mode, ctrl+shift+p, visit perlmonks, view a few nodes, view your cookies, observe no cookies of any kind ... oddballs ... paranoiacs ... Stay classy DrHyde	[reply]
