I'm perfectly fine with using cookies and JS, in fact I use them daily in my webapps...

But please, please do render html _without_ requiring JS to do so... That's my main issue - getting blank white page on a simple text based html page like the one mentioned before...

Yeah that's very poor practice. I get why your site may require JS and have nothing for me if I turn it off, but do at least render some fallback with a bit of info so I know what I'm missing, how/where to contact and might be enticed to turn it on again.

Why bother? If a user comes to a page with JS off, they know why they get nothing.
