Bloody Cookies!

[Old Bumbulum]

Why do I have to keep repeating my decision to reject all cookies every two or three days before being allowed on this site? It is getting VERY tedious.
I'm sure if I accepted them I wouldn't be harassed ever again or is that not so?
It strikes me as being particularly unethical to pay lip-service to the legal requirement that allows us to reject cookies but then to continuously bully those who decline.

Really?

Because if you 'reject all' this includes the 'information storage' cookie class, so the site has no way of recording that you rejected them, so it keeps asking, and you keep throwing it away, and it will do this until hell freezes over. That 'reject all' may be OK on a site you never plan to revisit...

I accept them. For good or bad.

Still get asked to confirm again, even between one screen and the next.

i have been looking at the danish government weather service site - and it is repeatedly asking if it can know my location.., almost every time i go to another page within the site, it asks...

not that i want to make this political.., but i think it is a result of the EU GDPR policy - anyone with a website is terrified they will get fined.., and they err on the side of caution - even if it is annoying

Insightful input. Some of us aren't wired in such cynically devious ways.

Such a shame it's so unpleasantly and smugly presented though.

I'd thank you if you didn't insist on being such an utter arse.

Pretty much all browsers have extensions or plugins that manage cookies
if you install one, it will put a little icon in the upper right
these make it quite simple to delete all cookies from a given domain when you wish to - so, you could browse a site, accept cookies, and then before you leave just click on the icon and tell it to delete all cookies from the current site.
