The link should be changed anyway - that cookie control thing is the worst ever, offering no control.

  Perhaps, but given the number of articles on HN that are completely inaccessible due to being paywalled, that makes for a low bar of acceptance.

    Inaccessible links aren't allowed on HN according to the FAQs [1]. Paywalled articles are only allowed if there is a known, easily-accessible workaround, and someone usually posts this in the comments. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

  The one at Reuters isn't that much better. If you refuse, Reuters will immediately forget your "Managed Consent" and slam you in the face again on your next visit. I suspect they have no problem remembering your consent forever, it's just refusal that gets immediately forgotten.

    If you reject their use of cookies how are they supposed to remember your rejection the next time you visit?

      If the law doesn't make a single exception so the webpage can store a boolean value into a cookie to know this user doesn't want to be bothered with any _other_ cookies the law is wrong.

        Any single exception can be a privacy attack surface. The law is correct.

        It does make exception for cookies used to make the site function.

    No offense, but are you sure you grok the whole 'cookie' concept?
