May I ask why you reject sites that set cookies?

I reject for trying to set cookies also.

Are you doing it for fun or you have a meaningful explanation about it?

Conversely, why would a free site need to set a cookie?

I don't allow consoles, popups, viri, or cookies. You don't need my explanation. If you have to ask why I don't want your submits.

I see no valid reason for a free site to set cookies. I do often come across free sites that try to set a whole bunch of cookies I guess in the hope that the surfer will somehow go to one of their sponsors with the cookie still valid.

The person who sets the last cookie wins. A cookie should not get set unless the surfer clicks on an ad, not just surfing a free site.
