Well, -cookies is a one-stop solution to toggle all cookie receiving
from servers; it makes sense to me to have only one flag to turn it
off (if it's normally turned on, with whatever more detailed options).
The setting of 'accept_all_cookies' doesn't matter while 'cookies' is
FALSE [Is sthis strictly true??], but that's nothing unusual. There
are more options/flags that only have an effect if other options/flags
are set (especially things like restrictions).
Maybe the flags are infelicitously named. It should probably be
made clearer that 'accept_all_cookies' only has effect if 'cookies'
is on.
