Cookies being set despite cookies_disable
Hi, all,I'm using clicky_custom.cookies_disable on http://www.fairlymarvellous.co.uk but I'm still seeing two cookies being set.
Both are __cfduid, one set by getclicky.com the other by static.getclicky.com
Have I placed my code incorrectly?
Thanks!

Those are cloudflare cookies.

But they're put there by Clicky, aren't they?
If they cannot be turned off then it means I cannot use Clicky webstats legally without getting the visitor's permission. Shame.

Sorry, you're right, since we use Cloudflare for our CDN they do create a cookie for the domain that's pointing to Cloudflare (in this case static.getclicky.com). Their wiki says cookies can't be disabled:

But I have sent them an email to ask about, since this law will have an impact on that.
