Over the past few days, I've noticed a fixed banner on the header of Ubuntu.com that states the following:

We use cookies to help optimise our website. Continued use of our website without having changed your settings confirms your acceptance of these cookies. For details of how to change your settings, please see our privacy policy.

Did Canonical or Ubuntu have legal or ethical issues with cookies lately? I haven't seen a site notify that blatantly that they use cookies since ~1999.
