At least they have to ask now instead of delivering them right into your rectum.
If you have Javascript turned off, Reddit still sets cookies without asking.
Are they called biscuits in the UK?
Yes and software “bugs” are “insects” 🐛
On Firefox their is a plugin called do don’t care about cookies. It stops the popups and says no automaticly.
There is also a ublock filterlist for it.
Any chance you can share the good word on the name of the list?
Its a built in one, enable it in ublock settings.
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 🙂
Awesome, thanks.
Ublock Origin, baby
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
Yes, it’s called annoyances and you have to check the boxes yourself
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 miss the time when not every cookie was a tracking cookie and they actually functioned as intended instead.
It’s always been like that, they just didn’t use to have to ask.
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.
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).
I, too, only visit fucking websites featuring men wearing little or nothing.
You want cockies??
All the cockies?Confirm here.
Accept?
Option 1: Yes ✅
Option2: Let’s play a game!
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 was just on a website that gave a warning when trying to accept only necessary.
So I’m sure some less informed people just conform instead of thinking or even maybe reading the warning.
These cookie things are the epitome of asshole design. Hidden “legitimate interest” weird colours for on/off, I can’t even be arsed to list it all.
They act like it’s a treat they’re offering us, when it’s more like a poison pill in most cases.
Even though they ask I have all the tracking and blocking plugins. Ask away.
For those already using unblock origin that don’t know this: In the unlock settings you can enable additional filter lists. There are two for these cookie banners too. You never see these aids banners with it.
