Some cookies are useful, like the ones keeping you logged in. Not all cookies are created with the sole purpose of tracking you.
I can just log back in when I need to be, thank you.
So you log again every single time you visit a website? I don't get the Luddite-y response people have when someone mentions cookies, ones that aren't cross-site don't impair your privacy.
Yup, every single time. Not hard when you use a password manager.
Also, lmao, how the hell is rejecting cookies, something that corporations have exploited to make the internet an increasinly hostile place, a "Luddite-y" response? Read up on the Luddites sometime. They are wildly mischaracterized. They weren't anti-progress like people have been propogandized to believe, they were anti-exploitation of workers.
Actually, now that I think about it, that is a Luddite-y response, and I'm damn proud of it.
Aye that's fair, my comparison was too much of a hyperbole. But why not just block cross-site cookies?
Because there's no good way to do that reliably and easily, because the corporate world is run by douchebags with a rapists-mentality.
