Cookie copyright

As Claus mentioned in forum 39:

March 30, 2004, USPTO granted Amazon, Inc. a patent on "Use of browser cookies to store structured data"
Here's the direct link to the patent text (No. 6,714,926)

Weird that they grant patents like that. I don't get it, it's a commonplace technology for chrissake. When will somebody patent "the use of a door handle, knob, or similar device to open a door"?

And I thought Trump was insane!

Amazing... you've got to love Amazon's chutzpah, though. One click ordering, cookies... how did they forget to patent hyperlinks? ;)
