Okay so what if I actually want cookies? I notice Firefox’s feature will reject cookies. But I am so sick of having to log in to websites every 15 minutes because the site forgot who I am or otherwise running into silly bugs because nobody tested the site with cookies turned off. I honest to god just want to go back to the internet before GDPR and want to tell Firefox to just allow all cookies rather than reject. I care about privacy but I don't think cookie consent is the solution.
I think the solution lies in somewhere in the realm of legally limiting the ability to profit off of the sale of collected data or even collect data without my consent. I don’t care if snazzy.app wants to collect product analytics and marketing data when I’m on their site. I consent to that by navigating to snazzy.app. I do care if snazzy.app embeds cambridge-analytica.js, though. And cookie consent banners simply don't address this nuance. What we need is control over where the data goes and if it crosses property/origin boundaries.
