Cookies


A new notice on Blogger:
"European Union laws require you to give European Union visitors information about cookies used on your blog. In many cases, these laws also require you to obtain consent."
"As a courtesy"  they "have added a notice" to my blog "to explain Google's use of certain Blogger and Google cookies, including use of Google Analytics and AdSense cookies."

      I suspect that soon the EU will require warnings when someone tries to post a comment: "Caution. Posting a comment may enable others to read it." And maybe general warnings to anyone reading a blog: "Caution. By reading this blog, you agree that the blogger agrees to allow you to agree to read it." They will have warnings for anyone writing a blog, too, making clear that something posted publically on the internet is not necessarily private.
