Actually you are entirely wrong.

It PRECISELY matches the above sentence. This is the European Union 
mandated cookie warning.

Never mind the fact that most people don't know the implications of 
accepting cookies, and just do it blindly (just like most people never 
read the terms of contracts they agree to) but the European requirement 
for such a declaration (which is in some EU directive or other) is 
DESIGNED to respect Article 8 of the fundmental rights (Right to privacy 
and security of correspondence).

What's really interesting in this, is that ICANN, unusually, seems to 
feel it has to obey European law.

Maybe it will start doing so respecting WHOIS data as well soon?
