    As someone who used to work in the identity management/authorization field… Not all cookies are bad. But yeah, I still agree.

      My favorite is when webpages offer either “Accept all” or “Technically required only”, as if anyone would ever want anything else than just the technically required.

    I miss the time when not every cookie was a tracking cookie and they actually functioned as intended instead.

      Forcing these popups in our faces was punishment for fighting back during the battle for the internet. We lost, and the elites shoved insulting disruptive messages in our faces to remind us of our failure every time we browse. I was so disappointed.

          There are several of them and they come pre-installed with uBlock but you have to tick the checkbox next to each of them to activate them. They are located in the “Cookie notices” category.

          P.S. I also suggest ticking off all the lists in the “Annoyances” category 🙂

    They act like it’s a treat they’re offering us, when it’s more like a poison pill in most cases.

      And Consent-O-Matic to never see another cookie popup and Cookie AutoDelete to delete any that get through

        I use UBO’s built-in cookie-popup blockers. I believe it’s off by default

        cookie auto delete isn’t necessary you can set firefox to not remember cookies anyway ubo also has filter lists go remove cookie popups though it doesn’t catch all of them so I won’t say consent o matic is unnecessary but I don’t use it and I very rarely see a cookie popup

    I hate that they’re called cookies. Cookies are supposed to be great! Cooties would be a better word. Or AIDS.

      Oh, cooties is a great idea!
      Is headcanon now (much better than how I always called them anyway).
