re: Maybe you should have read that privacy statement...
Yeah, I had to uncheck the box about sharing my info with third parties. It's a tiny point, but having it unchecked by default would be a reassuring gesture. I don't obsess over cookies, and mainly consider the context. On a commercial site they're usually part of some "evil" ad-tracking system trying to divine patterns in my surfing, but on a nonprofit site the basic intention is different. I consider the source.
