The worst is not that they are annoying, it is that I have to give explicit permission to use cookies. I am OK with them using cookies, but I don't want to give them permission. I'd like to leave it a grey area. They can use cookies all day long. If I don't grant them permission, then I can accept it, but complain about it. But if I click "allow", I feel that they take away my moral right to complain about it. It's like being pat down / searched by the police. It is annoying, but I'd let it happen, because they probably have good reasons to do it - but I'd still be grumpy about it, and if it happens too often, I'd protest. But if I had to sign a waiver that gave them explicit permission to do so, then I'd have a much worse standing if I wanted to complain. Does anyone understand what I mean?
