I don't use gobble, but I've noticed a few more sites needing cookies.  
Sometimes they give a msg - sometimes not.  Maybe depending on how the 
msg that cookies are required is configured, it gets blocked?

I don't think avg or below avg users are blocking most tracking cookies 
(making up bulk of users), so I don't think the practice of requiring 
1st party cookies is because of that.
Don't know if it's really a trend, or we're just stumbling on a few that 
have done it.
