 The new privacy policy guide text states:
 ''
 If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a
 temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies.''

 This is incorrect. The test cookie is set regardless of whether a site
 visitor has an account or not and it is not set upon logging in, but on
 visiting wp-login.php with or without intention to log in.

 Suggested fix:
 ''
 If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine
 if your browser accepts cookies.''
