I built several ( but now I have my hands on Zope :-) but no complains.
You cannot educate each user about what a cookie can do anyway.
The non-brainers think a `cookie' can rm -rf your hard, burn your 
motherboard or kill your dog. But what would be Zope w/o cookies? 
(remember the nice expandable trees, session management, preferences ,
etc.)
Not much, and cookies are just okay as long as the browsers do their
jobs
and send them only to originating domains, or only over SSL when this is
required.
