Edits didn't affect the content of the policy actually. Also a cookie
policy is essentially a legal stuff, I'd be surprised to *don't *see the
legal team editing it.
As a "sockpuppet investigator" I never rely upon cookies, I prefer
fingerprints and social security numbers.

I noticed Michelle Paulson editing the "Cookie
Statement" page, and it
seemed kind of strange to me because I thought it more a technical and IT
thing to edit. But Michelle is WMF Legal, right?
Is WMF doing something new (or newish, maybe I'm a little late in picking
up on this) with cookies? Can someone describe to me what that is, in
layman's terms?
Is it about third-party marketing and working up personal profiles of
editors and readers? What sort of new information is the WMF gathering, if
it is, on editors and readers?
Are there privacy concerns we should be worried about?
Will the information gathered by the cookies be made available to the
anonymous administrative "volunteers" the WMF grants access to the
non-public information of editors? The so-called "sockpuppet investigators"
and so forth?
