Cookies aren't actually part of HTML.

I suggest you start by learning to use a search engine; Google's first
hit was http://www.cookiecentral.com/ which seems plenty to get you
started (or maybe put you off the idea altogether).

Oh dear - sorry if that's the case. I gave it a very superficial look,
and one or two pages seemed to be at least on the right planet (though I
don't suppose the more political bits and pieces will appeal to
everyone).

user's consent if the user's browser is configured that way. I give and
withhold my consent all the time.
