I allow cookies at least for the session or until the browser closes and I take simple steps to block ads and I never see them on either my PC or Android phone. I used to use stricter methods such as blocking cookies outright or having them automatically delete upon receipt and changing the browser's user agent but it's not necessary to go to those lengths. If one wants to see ads then fine, if you don't then you don't have to, even YouTube ads can easily be avoided. As this ad problem arises so frequently and as the solutions are so simple one has to ask why is it so difficult to get the point across that getting rid of ads is simple.
