Just curious. Do you feel that we ship without the big cookie warning turned on by default in firefox as an example of something that's inappropriate?


If we're using that being disabled to allow us to gather more tracking
information then yes. We're CHOOSING to disable items that would let the
user know we're tracking them.

So that default applies to google, redhat.com and lots of other sites. It's part of how the web works today.

And once again, tracking implies some kind of nefarious end or big brother type thing. Once again, I'm just interested in if you're using it, not what you're doing with it or who you are.
