It actually kind of exists: in Chrome and Firefox, you can block all third-party cookies, which are mostly ads and tracking, and keep those from the site itself, which are likely more useful. This doesn't remove the stupid banners though.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoYeah sorry but this just isn't true at all. When the browsers started blocking or otherwise crippling third party cookies by default a few years back, lots of companies changed how tracking works to get around it. I know because I did it for a company I was working for. Instead of being able to use a simple tracking pixel hosted on a third-party server we changed to having websites embed JavaScript hosted by us so we could set a first party cookie. I don't think any respectable tracking uses third-party cookies these days because they just don't work well at all anymore.
- FabHK 5y agoIs there a halfway decent cookie manager for Safari (macOS, maybe iOS)?
