I wish cloudfare could allow removing this cookie. I'm willing to pay for that feature.

  That cookie can be disabled on Cloudflare's Enterprise plan [0] (which, to be fair, starts at like $60k a year). [0] https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170156-Understanding-the-Cloudflare-Cookies#12345682 https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170156-U...

    The enterprise plan is a very custom plan - if you only need access to one or two features and/or only have a few million requests a month, the price can be pretty cheap (much less than the 5k/mo price advertised on the CF dashboard), but if you want mission-critical features like bot management[0], access to China datacenters[1], etc. it definitely can get into the 6-figure range - and they do have over 550 customers paying 6 figures or more [2]. But just getting one to remove the cookie is probably not worth it since it will end up costing more than a business plan (200/mo) regardless. 0: https://www.cloudflare.com/products/bot-management/ https://www.cloudflare.com/products/bot-management/ 1: https://www.cloudflare.com/network/china/ https://www.cloudflare.com/network/china/ 2: http://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001477333/09769260-9f46-44c1-8597-90a682a7b219.pdf#page=63 http://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001477333/09769260...

      I think you can negotiate with them if you only need some enterprise features.

    Alright. I can budget 100€ per year so I will keep the cookie.

    It's funny that you have to pay more in order to have less. Cloudflare, if you are listening: Just give us an option to disable this cookie. Thanks!

  How would they know that you're you without the cookie?

    I wasn't thinking as a visitor, but as a website owner who use cloudfare.

It's currently still there on the blog site because I was worried that HN would smash my server and haven't moved it over to BunnyCDN yet ^^

  I wish you luck on your move -- I love to see people dropping Cloudflare's MITM service that mistreats Tor users (among others).

    FYI a site owner can whitelist Tor as a "country" to stop mistreatment of Tor users. Of course, hardly anyone that uses Cloudflare does that.
