  Correct, if you want to live cookieless on the internet you have to disable them in browser. But as others have said, this will break the majority of websites.

  Functional cookies can never be used for identifiable information, only to ensure the functionality of the website.

      When I tried to make a website with some funny functions everything I read said to store data in cookies.
