kobobooks.com is sending me an invalid cookie:

I think the problem is version is a reserved keyword that should be
set to 1.

I tried writing a CookiePolicy.shouldAccept but the bad cookie never
gets that far.

I wrote Kobo. Have not heard back.

How can I ignore the cookie? i.e. suppress the SEVERE: error message.

Plants" with "leaves" no more efficient than today’s solar cells 
could out-compete real plants, crowding the biosphere with an
inedible foliage. Tough omnivorous "bacteria" could out-compete 
real bacteria: They could spread like blowing pollen, replicate 
swiftly, and reduce the biosphere to dust in a matter of days.
Dangerous replicators could easily be too tough, small, and 
rapidly spreading to stop -- at least if we make no preparation. 
We have trouble enough controlling viruses and fruit flies.
