In Visitors > Software > Browser Plugins, Cookie shows 100% but it likely shouldn't, as we would expect some people maybe disable cookie tracking (first party).

To investigate further we could try to disable cookie in our browser, and then check whether Piwik detects correctly that cookies are disabled.

cookie detection shows 100 percent

It seems to be working. I disabled cookies in Firefox and got the following http request:

GET /piwik.php?action_name=Weingut%20Gattinger&idsite=2&rec=1&r=498338&h=12&m=35&s=8&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gattinger-wachau.at%2Fen%2F&_id=&_idts=1484998509&_idvc=1&_idn=1&_refts=0&_viewts=1484998509&send_image=1&pdf=0&qt=0&realp=0&wma=0&dir=0&fla=0&java=0&gears=0&ag=0&cookie=0&res=1920x1080&gt_ms=32&pv_id=wDGsOp HTTP/1.1

It seems like cookies aren't mentioned in the Visitor log/Visitor profile so I don't now if the server side detection is working, but the percentage went down from 100%
