Actually yes the banners bring up cookie rage. When in cookie rage I'll click anything to make that banner go away. And then repeat the next visit. The banners make me not care. Give me a global in browser setting for that.
I don't want those banners. I don't want extensions or artificial solutions to a manufactured problem. I want to set up my preference in my browser, once, and have it respected by all sites i visit. I'm not sure why my comment was downvoted for stating a personal preference. For me, those banners do the opposite of what they were meant to.
>privacy rules that force websites to run cookie banners.
This is such bullshit and common misconcepton.
Websites DO NOT have to run cookie banners!
If you only have necessary cookie for session and do not track users, you don't have to show cookie banner. Websites that want to invade privacy must run cookie banner to ask permission.
>a law called the e-Privacy Directive to require websites to get consent from users before loading cookies on their devices, unless the cookies are “strictly necessary” to provide a service. Fast forward to 2025 and the internet is full of consent banners that users have long learned to click away without thinking twice.
