I mean, data transfer is not totally without costs.
At a few thousand reads per day, a MB or so per read... this is costing up to FIFTY DOLLARS PER YEAR to just... give our content away for free?!

Hang on; you're still serving ads, no?
So what's this about "free"? I mean, you weren't planning to charge me in the first place.
So you want to set a cookie so that you can make your ads more "targetted", and so more valuable? There's no public evidence that ad targetting even works.
But this "free" business - I suspect that some local US paper doesn't make a lot of money from ads served to EU residents. So is it possible that the lost revenue stream is from selling PII to data brokers? Oh dear - that's pretty evil, even if the visitor isn't in the EU.
