Annoyances

I suddenly realize how much I hate sites that require cookies, but don't tell you which site you need to allow cookies from, in order to use them.

My 401(k) provider has a site, and I've tried enabling every obvious source domain combination in Firefox's Extended Cookie Manager extension, but I still can't seem to get it working. It's not even like this is a free content site that would make money putting ad-tracker cookies on my machine, so it makes no sense.

Proposal: Any web site/application which requires cookies should explicitly specify any and all cookie domains necessary for access.
