What kind of website doesn't use cookies?

And why do U.S based websites have a cookie warning?

It's not limited to U.S.-based websites. 

Any website in any country will have cookies or no cookies enabled.

I would assume that mostly dynamic sites use cookies. But I won't be surprised if static pages use them as well.

I think it is because they try to be European compliant. I don't think there is any other reason.

Thx for the feedback. Can anyone name 1 website that does not use cookies?

American websites that don't need to use a cookie warning but still do, need to stop.

Guess what?

If you don't like those American websites, you are free NOT TO USE THEM!

It is a good practice to tell users when you put something on their computer. Legal or not.

true. that is what I do.. because the cookie warnings are annoying... so why state the obvious. I think you are missing the point, but let me explain, you are an american based website, you have no knowledge and have never studied internet regulations, and you put a cookies warning bar on your site because you think it looks cool.

That is what I don't understand. The point is, all websites use cookies, this info is found in the privacy policy of a website.

I believe the good practice is having this clearly explained in the privacy policy, and not some gawd awful big red bar across the screen stating "THIS WEBSITE USES COOKIES."

So, making a blanket statement about ALL American websites are BAD SITES because they have a bar at the bottom informing users regarding the usage of cookies. A simple click will usually get rid of that cookie message bar. How long did that take you to click on the OK button? 1-2 seconds? 

"you are an American based website, you have no knowledge and have never studied internet regulations". Seriously? Another blanket statement?

That's all I am going to say on this subject.
