Sorry, that's simply not true. I can block access to cookies and other tracking methods (images).

The user is firmly in control of the web experience.

I find it amusing that you appear here with your non-sequiturs and plead for reason. There is a reasonable way around the phorm issue, opt-in at the network layer. That's what TT/CPW are proposing and nobody has a problem with it.
