why “strictly necessary” cookies can’t be used in the same way as advertising cookies

245 viewsOther

For example, couldn’t I give my visitor a cookie like MySpammySiteLoginStatus=logged-out and then anyone can see they visited MySpammySite? Additionally, couldn’t I hide other information in relatively simple codes, like deciding whether or not to add toolbar preference cookies based on whether or not the user got to the shopping cart?
