David,

since I can't reply to your reply to my reply....here we go.

I am all for cookie warnings and privacy for users. In general for sites I have worked at over the years, if you want your data removed, all you have to do is prove you are you and a list of what you want removed and I would usually remove it.

There are sites that do the cookie warning thing like this:

"Continual use of our site/services will mean you agree to our usage of cookies/TOS, if you don't agree with that then (link)".

Couldn't I just do that? Just like if I had a visitor to one of my sites with e-commerce, that visitor does not per say have to create an account but don't expect a order history or anything like a refund or reward points if you don't want an account
