That certainly would make *me* happy. I'd actually like a third
option: silent [non]acceptance based upon server/domain. I routinely
refuse doubleclick's cookies, and would like to have that automatic
henceforth, but there are some servers from which I always accept
cookies - and I'd still like the option of accepting them from other
locations on a case-by-case basis.
But it's unclear to me whether this is within the scope here..
