    Not all cookies are tracking cookies. If you block all cookies, some web functionality will be blocked to you. For instance, some sites use a cookie to keep you logged in between visits. This type of cookie just stores information about your login here that is only accessible by this site and doesn't do anything else (e.g. it does not 'track' you or do anything else you wouldn't want it to do). If you block all cookies, you may not be able to stay logged in here between browser sessions. This applies to most other sites you log in to as well.

    Time for some reading:
