I admit I just dislike session cookies for sites to which I'm not logged in. This would never hit me because I'm always logged into dreamwidth, but as a general rule I think it's kind of creepy to track preferences for people who haven't said "I want to have a user account in your system".

Then again, the tiny minority of people who think like me presumably have cookies turned off by default, because if you know enough about how session cookies work to find them creepy, then you know enough about how your browser manages them to disable them.

So I voted against in principle, but I do understand that I'm not typical.
