The idea of this is based on normal web-ads, which uses cookies to identify
you. This can in many cases be blocked by disabeling cookies from "foreign"
sites. Example: You're browsing www.site1.com, which contains an ads which is
fetched from www.web-ads.com/ad1.html, and that code tries to make a cookie on
your pc, but because it's not on www.site1.com, it can be blocked. I think this
is a option in some browsers, but i'm not sure if this is actually needed in
gnash...
