I can see that your trend data is probably incredibly accurate, but I guess the down side of ONLY recording data from those allowing cookies goes back to accurately defining how many people are on your site not using cookies. I think that you are probably right not to pay any attention to these people at all, but I still feel that blue-sky and long term that will be a problem. Especially in Europe (see the new legislation in force at out-law - [out-law.com...] Also, how many pages get half loaded and people move on before the cookie gets properly recorded. I guess it is the law and paranoia that is going to limit cookies in the future, not technology.
About a third of our uniques at any time are members who have logged in, and those users are the ones that I do the cookie to account xref table on, and those are the users I know have a significant home/work overlap.
