What I would like is to distinguish the notion of machine and person...
I have multiple machines and may be at any of them. Other people in my
family also use any or all of them. This is where cookies don't do the

several people who will see different things, even from the same

the same person. Now, multiple browser profiles do help that some, you
can have different sets of cookies by profile and Taya uses a different
profile than I do.
