That's a great point in favor of your proposal. I'm still concerned about
"infinite-page" sites (facebook/twitter/etc) where a user typically rarely
reloads. Would it be too ugly to apply an infobar to each active tab that
says "The cookie policy has changed. Reload to apply the new policy
[Reload]"? Or maybe has a [Reload this tab][Reload All] set of buttons. I
have serious misgivings about my UX suggestion here, but maybe it will
spark better ideas on how to communicate to users. An alert/doorhanger in
the pref page where the setting is changed that warns the user it only
applies to new pages and offers to reload all active tabs?
