That sounds good, but an infrastructure needs to be developed first, particularly a way to label which cookie is which and then have a law to enforce it.

Ultimately though by default I use extension to destroy cookies as soon as I leave the page, I can place an exclusion for sites that I frequent but when I do that I just allow all cookies. My reasoning is that if I have credentials they can track me using these anyway.

Anyway the whole thing is moot though, since advertisers are beyond cookies and use many other ways to track users. Now seems what their primary goal is, is to be able to tie multiple devices of the same user together.
