More cookies...

Spots says "I've taken my stand against cookies, now for a bit on the other side..."

"It is not reasonable to expect UAL servers to maintain context for millions of customers for free."

No, but it is reasonable that there need not be any customer context in the part of their web site which does not need it. I don't need a cookie to find out whether they fly to Orlando or not... I might need a cookie to book my reservation or check my frequent flyer miles, although we know there are other ways to work it.

What disappoints me, is that their site doesn't work at all with out accepting a cookie. So I do the most secure practical thing, and delete the cookie after I've used them, so that they cannot connect this appearance of me with the next one.
