Hello,

I totally agree with this bug report.

Personnaly, I always set the setting to clear the cookies once the 
browser is closed.

Especially with new services like Google Analytics and it's cookies, 
Google can not only track the searches
you do, but also see all the sites you visit if they implement Google 
Analytics.

Of course It can be seen as a violation of the cookie expiration 
standard, but I think it's really important for privacy.
At least the average user should be aware of that. It may be a good idea 
to ask him at Iceweasel/Firefox first startup ?

Thanks in advance,

Marc
