Well, I choose to use Wordpress and Google Analytics and is seems that
their default behaviour is to use cookies. I could of course use static
HTML pages and log analysis and not create any cookies for users, but
would lose a lot of functionality!
I don't think that Wordpress' cookies are particularly intrusive, they
are used to detect if someone has logged into a session - which no-one
other than me does on my sites. Google Analytics is more intrusive as it
tracks more detailed web use and reports it to Google.
