I've never used one myself, but I think it's neat when a website knows who I am when I return, and now that banking websites do it, it should be common knowledge.

I've never cared about my personal privacy (at least within the bounds of common sense like posting my address here). We are social creatures. When did people become so fenced off from one another? So far I have not been the victim of identity theft, or black helicopters circling my home with telescopes. OTOH, I'm actually hard pressed to get anyone to even acknowledge my existence.

I'm not sure what the conventional wisdom is though. It's usually the opposite of mine.
