Not sure if my browser is acting up but I don’t want to accept all cookies and when I click on the other option, “settings”, there is no “save” button so I can never get on to the article I was planning to read.
- stonekyx 6y agoExactly. I tried to go back with browser's Back button, and the annoying dialog comes up again.. So effectively the only option is to accept their cookies.
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoI know it's not really the point here, but a workaround: use Private Browsing/Incognito and accept the cookies from there. They'll disappear when you finish your session.
- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoBut this is a technical author blogging for other techies, such hacks shouldn't be necessary in the first place.
- Macha 6y agoI'm always worried that a site will treat that as acceptance of fingerprinting and then treat that as consent when they see my browser/IP again in non private browsing.
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoInteresting idea, I wonder if any sites do this.
- dbrgn 6y agoYou can also just delete the modal cookie dialog in the inspector toolbar.
- mastazi 6y agoTrue! In my case I was on an iPad so I ended up using Safari’s “Reader View” as a workaround.
