The real problem is to evaluate the part of the targeted audience that might
have cookie deisabled and the amount of development resource you want to
assign to dealing with the problem. You might end with a significant
increase of development resource for a very small increase of audience
(according to Mark) or a very small increase of resource for an undetermined
increase of audience (according to Nic).
If you do not know how much audience increase you might get, you are missing
something. (This should be known before starting the project, shouldn't it
?)
If you do not know how much development effort it costs to deal with the
problem, it's probably worth doing it, just to increase your knowledge.
Generally, you will end with a reusable solution and this won't be a problem
any more for future projects !

Let's not have a flame war about cookies.
Personally, I agree with you but it's up to individual developers and
development managers how they support cookies... sometimes it's just
not necessary Ibecause the audience is limited).
