The requirement to advertise "we use cookies" and spam you with popups when you visit a site is frustrating for highly technical users.
OP is saying that Emacs-as-website would be frustrating if it had those popups.
- rusk 6y agoYou don’t have to do that unless you’re hosting a public site ... and even so if it’s a private session and you’d logged in this wouldn’t be required. Logging in is seen as a tacit acknowledgment that you consent to being tracked, cause how would I have. A personal session otherwise. The cookies warning is all about notifying the casual reader who might otherwise believe they were passively browsing static content.
- krageon 6y ago> Logging in is seen as a tacit acknowledgment that you consent to being tracked Logging in means you get a single cookie (a login/session cookie), that cookie is necessary and thus a functional cookie that you can't say no to. All other cookies (and basically every form of tracking) still isn't allowed without consent.
