The stupid thing is, the lawmakers seem to think web sites store cookies. It's the user and their browser storing and returning cookies. Any user can easily choose to ignore any cookie requests.
Lawmakers and the public are so easily fooled by "computer experts" (Microsoft) scaring them into doing something stupid to hurt big ad networks (Google). That's what this and IE 10 blocking is - Microsoft setting their browser to hurt a competitor. Never mind that it also hurts Microsoft's own customers. It's more important to annoy Google than to provide a good product.
