This morning I open up the SDMB and there’s a brand new cute cookie icon. It looks like a chocolate chip cookie with a big bite taken out of it. I clicked on it and it gave me a pop-up menu for cookie preferences, computer cookies that is.
How do I get rid of the icon? I cannot move it around and it’s in the lower left corner of the browswer window thus sometimes obscuring one of the buttons I need to click on.

Being widely discussed here:

> And why won’t it go away? When I click on it, I get a whole bunch of cookie policy options, and when I agree and click “Save”, the stubborn partially eaten cookie image is still there. What purpose does it now serve except to be an annoying distraction (it partially obscures the “Reply” button)?
