I don not know what component is the right so I took General. Perhaps someone can change it to the right one.

It would be nice if there is a symbol for cookie-status in the status-bar. For example next to the lock for SSL.
Sometimes it would be very helpful to see if cookies are blocked or allowed an to change this fast.

Example: You visit a new site and then you got notifications for x cookies. Normally you would block them first. If you decide to register later or cookies are needed for site functionality you have to look first if the site is blocked and then change it. With a Symbol it would be faster an much more easy.

Hope you will think about this.
