I should probably clarify - I have no problem with software/products which use cookies for various functions, authorizations, etc.  I do have a problem with one which won't let you do or present anything except an error message when cookies are disabled.  If the product is mostly functional, except for certain features/capabilities, then it still might be appropriate for our use.  Sorry if I sounded to much like a neo-luddite there.  :)
