    I use to configure browers to automatically delete cookies on exit,
but this feature of a one-time user might be a damn good idea. Just
needing to set up a script to create/delete a one-time user with a
random name... why not inside a new VM with a random hostname...

    But the main security issue these days isn't that much the cookies,
provided you delete them systematically; it's, in my opinion, that you
are forced to create accounts on many Internet services like social
insurance and ISP, with personnal data and these data have a high
probability to be stolen by criminals, while the company or
administration responsible of the service isn't liable for the dammage.
It seems, up to now, the banks are taking data security more seriously
than others, which means it is possible.
