7. Make your site work even if I refuse cookies. 7a. If there's a good reason (shopping basket or whatever) why some features can't work without cookies, at least let the rest of the site (product search, for example) work without them. 7b. If your site won't work without cookies, at least make the not-working-because-you-refused-our-cookie case distinguishable from "our site is down". 7c. If you really, really insist on my accepting a cookie, at least make it be a cookie from your domain so I know how to whitelist. 7c(i). Or, failing that, make the "we can't work unless you accept a cookie" page say which domain's cookies I have to accept.
4d. Many e-commerce sites let you window-shop without registering, but require registration to buy something. Fair enough, I guess, but provide a way to discover shipping costs without registering.
8. If you let someone give you an e-mail address and then you send e-mails to it, in those e-mails provide a way for the recipient to say "your customer was smoking crack and this isn't their e-mail address at all, please forget you ever saw it".
