@codinghorror That's a myth perpetrated by adtech industry. There is no EU obligation to spam cookie notices. There's an obligation not to track without explicit consent, and everyone illegally uses the cookie nag popups as a basis for claiming consent (which it's not). A legitimate, non malicious site has no need for cookie nags. Ever.

@codinghorror Moreover there *was* a browser feature to set it globally and all the assholes running websites refused to honor it and instead used your setting as an additional fingerprinting bit to track you.
