And in fact, it is even worse for people who block cookies, periodically delete cookies, etc. Because you often have to respond to the popup every single time you visit the site, since it uses a cookie to remember your preference.
- diggan 2y agoStoring a cookie to remember a "Reject tracking cookies" is fine. You're allowed to store cookies without consent, the objective of the cookie matters when figuring out if it's allowed to be stored without consent or not. If people would just spend like 10-15 minutes reading up what they're arguing about, we'd actually get some substantive discussions on this topic.
- thayne 2y agoI didn't say it wasn't fine. I'm saying that if you set your browser to automatically clear all cookies after a session, every day, etc. Then it will delete the cookie to remember "Reject tracking cookies". Also, if the site is using a third party service for the cookie banner, the cookie for remembering "reject racking cookies" might be stored as a third party cookie that the browser then doesn't store at all, depending on the browser settings.
