Who really gives a shit about advertising cookie tracking though? Just a few purist geeks on their high horses. And the rest of us suffer with these popups.
I blame the GDPR for being drafted in a way that allowed this mess.
- alkonaut 6y agoThis is exactly the reason the law exists: that people can't actually be expected to understand the consquences. I sure don't - so I'm glad someone else looks after my interests.

After all you will be seeing an ad anyway, whether it is targeted or not hardly makes a difference. This "cure" is worse than the problem it tries to solve.
