“Strictly Necessary Cookies” being defined as cookies that are necessary for a site to function always frustrates me. In what way does a news website need cookies in order to function? What exactly would break in showing news articles when I disallow all cookies to be stored in my browser?
- ncallaway 6y agoI think a common example is any site that requires authentication will need to store some kind of session cookie in the browser. I suspect many news sites have subscriber accounts that you can log in with. Many subscription news sites might consider the "how many free articles has this visitor viewed this month" to be a strictly necessary cookie, but that's just speculation on my part.
