Gary,
Thanks for your reply! Do you know if this session cookie only
applies when you are logged in to the system, or is it always enabled?
Assume that it always enabled - there was a lot of debate/discussion
about it on those forum threads because the EU passed a law which
specifically requires a website to ask BEFORE setting a session cookie,
but Joomla sets the session cookie before the page is even displayed.
As near as I can tell, it's just not easy/convenient to disable this
session cookie and because the law is so vague[and even the agencies
which are supposed to enforce this law use multiple session cookies on
their own websites] that I don't think absent any funding this will be a
high priority to change.
