There is absolutely no acceptable reason for a website like that to use cookies.
None at all.

Why?

Let's consider what cookies are for:

• Remembering me for the next visit
• Umm... err... that's it!

I can see why TMO and other sites where you sign in may need to remember you. But why would Liliputing need to do that??? They are broadcasting some information. They do not need to know who is reading. If they want to know, then the first obvious question is why.

Killfile, meet Liliputing. Liliputing, meet my killfile.
