Nothing irritates me than the cookie setting many companies try to use to monitor my activities on the net.  In fact, as an individual, this worries me more 
than spam.

I just visited nike.com and since I set my browser to reject cookies you can imagine how "fun" the experience of visitng such a site is for me: my browser 
alerting me repeatedly to attempts to set an illegal cookie... non-stop, even after having rejected about 20 attempts!

But, I don't see any actions being taken against the setting of cookies... nor do I foresee anything on the horizon, do you?
