Do you really think those websites actually check if you "gave consent" before tracking you?

  It feels good to not agree successfully in the lack of a "I don't agree" button. I block their cookies anyway. :) I need to find better ways to mess with their fingerprinting though, or maybe throw back some bogus cookies at them with badly-formatted data instead of blocking them.

    Is this something people do? Is it possible for a user to edit a cookie in a malicious way? Do servers typically trust cookies they have placed on a user's machine?

      > Is it possible for a user to edit a cookie in a malicious way? Obviously, it comes from the user's machine so it can be modified before being sent to the server. Unless you're doing something custom/fancy like signing that data you shouldn't trust that it hasn't been tampered with.
