webkit recently implemented web storage:
http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/

http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/#user-tracking
this specification states:
User agents should present the persistent storage feature to the user in a way
that does not distinguish them from HTTP session cookies.

however there is no 'cookie' associated with the url given when searching in
preferences/show cookies
