Re: Project Management update.

Sounds like a good topic for a docs page, since we have some degree of
cookie configuration control per the specs, plus possibly substantial
variation across browser implementation.

Personally, even with plugins, I find that cookie management and
rule-setting is crude and burdensome, so (imho) a little attention on
the topic is a good thing.
