Since moving to the UK I've found that insurers here have SO much more legalese in their contracts. It's really hard to figure out what they actually cover ("two-fifths of fuck all"). My top "Gold" level travel

No comments about the cookie warning/opt-out modal on the page? Perhaps it's only visible in the EU? The thing explicitly takes ~2-3mins to send a HTTP POST to each of their advertising partners saying you've opted out (and w
