grimlock047: Why not just put "This site uses cookies. Learn more."? Or something else less "edgy" or douchebaggy.
Pffft, that's nothing. For instance varusteleka.fi has this:

Varustelekka's website, like almost all other websites, uses cookies. Cookies in themselves are about as old an invention as websites, and their use today is no more cruel than before, they have to be muttered now for some reason, when the gang is surprised that the behavior of internet users is monitored. Cookies are small files made by Varusteleka's websites that remain on your computer and the content of which is displayed on your Varusteleka website by your web browser whenever you browse our website. Cookies let the user know what - what information you open on our website and in what order, what browser you use, what your screen resolution is, what IP address you have at any given time. In certain cases, it may be possible for us to use cookies to obtain information from other websites you visit. Still, this is not a special feature of Varusteleka, but the same applies to virtually all websites.
Thanks to cookies, your shopping cart stays there. Thanks to cookies, we also get hell-accurate information about what and how users do on our website. This means that a register is collected from each visitor, which practically records very accurately what the user does - which page they arrive at, where they go from there, how long they stay on the website, buy something, do what if they come again later, then buy something. We use this information to file websites in such a direction that as many people as possible would find something nice to buy as easily as possible. We have so many gangs that even small changes make surprisingly many more customers. This is a smart activity, and all knowledgeable online stores with enough people on their pages do so.
Varusteleka collects cookies anonymously, and although a very accurate register is collected from your browsing, orders are logged in a completely different register and the data is not combined in any way. So all we know is that "one user came through the front page to the list of novelties, chose a Bulgarian vomit bucket from there, bought it and came a week later to buy another similar one." We do not know that out of the forty buyers of the vomiting bucket, this user was just Matti Hyvinkää. Nothing in itself would prevent us from merging these two registers, except that we are now deriving no benefit from it. And even if we secretly do so, you would never know - there is no place for it on the internet now. Fortunately, the equipment is on the side of the good and will do you no harm.
If you think that cookies are somehow a danger to you and you want to be the world's biggest web wizard, you can very easily turn off the use of cookies, Senkus will go to your web browser settings. Kantsii remembers that the feeling of security that follows from this is very apparent, yes you can watch online quite easily without them. Varustelekka's website is not intended for use without cookies, and it may be impossible to place an order, for example, if cookies are switched off. Not to be tried, and not to be able to try, because kamoon - not oo new or scary thing about these cookies at all. If you really imagine that sua is being tracked, you should place your orders by handing a typewriter-ordered order letter in the mail with cash and asking for delivery to Poste restante as far away as possible. Smartmail should not be used because it describes every user.
And that monitoring and data collection does not end in cookies, but that data is accumulated in databases by other means as well. For example, all the information you give us when ordering is stored, and for good reason. So please do not enter your order in the additional information field about your bedroom hobbies, illnesses or other sensitive matters. We don't want to know. Really, don't.
You can read more about Varustelekka's data processing issues in our Privacy Statement, which reviews what information we collect, how and why. It’s a bit drier text than this, but still an important thing.
In the next section, we will explain the effect of your face on the amount of the fine.
