> Sure, cookies are used for tracking, but they are also used for authentication, which is something that nearly every webapp needs to do.

What if we could move authentication or more specifically the state held in the client for authentication to some other mechanism? Could we pitch cookies? Could we make this switch without making it somehow possible for advertisers to switch to the new mechanism?
