Most browsers have security features that you can turn off. One option is allowing all cookies without being asked. If you are happy with giving every tom, dick or harry access to your PC then you have the power to do that.
Yes but when you see a cookie warning from a website it stores your choice in a cookie. So if you clear your cookies out then you see the warning again the next time you visit the website. So you don’t have much choice but to accept all cookies. Each website uses differently named cookies, so can’t simply solve it. There are extensions which try, like “I don’t care about cookies” but they break things and they have to have a list of websites. There will always be some which aren’t on there. The EU could have stipulated what the name of the cookie should be, or stipulated that it should be a browser option like “do not track”, but the EU is a massive corrupt bureaucracy.
So do not clear your cookie cache out? This is nothing to do with the EU. It is your personal choice. You can even use a VPN to make the internet view you as someone from another continent.
The EU did not implement this to make money, which is what you are implying when you say they are corrupt. They did it because there are scumbags out there, and they are abusing the data you give them when you view their site. There is a good reason to not give out your name and address when you go online, but if you are happy to do just that then there is a million and one ways to achieve it.
I used to clear my cookies on exit to prevent tracking. When the EU introduced its warnings about tracking I was forced to accept cookies to avoid the warnings, that’s my point. The warnings achieve the opposite of their intended purpose. Besides which, sometimes you have to clear cookies for other reasons, or you might use a different browser or recreate your profile.
I wasn’t implying anything with my corruption comment. I was just saying the EU is corrupt, because it is.
