 > However many (current and future) cookies laws require the websites to
 explain why they use the cookies and what's in them. General terms such as
 "my information" won't cut it.

 If that’s true, then core will need to loop through the fields in this
 form and generate a string using the label contents. That seems redundant
 (and quite stupid considering the proximity) but so be it.

 Hardcoding the 3 core fields only, will leave plugin authors without
 recourse. And folks modifying this form should not need to add more and
 more check boxes for their additional fields; that would be terrible.
