You can decide to accept exactly the log-in one (it sends a few more). You can make sure it's deleted after session. You can then set your cookie preferencies in the config. The reality is, you have to prove yourself to make any changes, and this is a very logical requirement. The stronger authentization, the better you are monitored. You can't be monitored less. If you are so paranoiac you don't accept cookies from bugzilla.gnome.org, then I can't understand why you bother to read any mail not signed by some trusted GnuPG key (namely gimp-dev), not speaking about responding to them. We are probably all evil hackers monitoring your mailing behaviour. Yeti
