NY Times Letter to the Editor: Protecting Privacy Online
Cookie management is not the solution for invasive practices by online service providers to track web use by users. Requiring customers of government information to take some action to protect themselves from being tracked or monitored while online is not the way consumer protection has or should work. Often the government is the only source of accurate reliable information. The White House is considering a change in federal agency practices that prohibit agencies from using web tracking technology such as cookies. EPIC on proposal to change government cookie policy.
