Google cookie?

Hi could you explain why I see this message on Google.com and on pretty much all major websites "Cookies help us deliver our services. By using our services, you agree to our use of cookies"?
Why do I have to accept it?

Are you in the EU? Or what is your geo location?

Your country passed a decree to follow the EU laws regarding cookies. To get a more complete understanding of that you can take a look here

I seem to be dense today and can't figure out how to attach files to this post as I have some PDF's that would be helpful as well.

Plus that really seems to be all most people read these days anyways is a few sentences. It's not that complex though if you read it, I just think it's too much to write in my own words

This it because cookie is very susceptible to manipulation and can be used for rather illegal purposes.

LOL you might want to read more about what this question actually is the EU law has nothing to do with the ability or no ability to modify or use cookies in illicit ways. This law also does not help prevent any of those!

Well not sharing what the message is won't help those of us who do not see it

But I am sure it tells you as well

I don't think that was his question though, of course you do not have to accept it. But I think he is after a more detailed explanation as to what not accepting it implies.

Again I can't explain it if I can't see the message you're getting as I am not a Spanish Web surfer I do not see that stuff. But I think basically all you're saying is you do not want cookies used when visiting that site, and have them not tracking you. I am sure there is more to it than that but that should be the most basic gist of it.

Cookies are great but you can get into deep sh*t for using them. Now users have to agree to use cookies otherwise it's illegal to store tracking cookies on users computer without them knowing!
