When the Financial Times published the article, "This Bug in Your PC is a Smart Cookie" on 12 February 1996 I remember quite a lot of people getting upset about it. At the time most were on dialup so you had a different IP assigned every time you connected so the idea you were being tracked in any way was a shock.
