These popups are worse than the actual pop-up ads - at least those were in separate windows or tabs and so could be closed easily with keyboard shortcuts.
All this on news sites and when you refuse everything you get into a paywall
I often decline their cookie bull, they’ll just keep asking with every new page i load from that website. Preferably with a pop-up that covers 2/3rd of the screen.
I think but haven’t done any proper investigations, that some sites only store your cookie response if you accept a certain kind of cookies. Basically every site now divides cookies up into functional, optimisation and marketing, and I have at least observed:
- go to website, receive prompt
- decline all non-required cookies
- go to next page within website, receive prompt again
- decline all but functional cookies (or similar wording
- go to next page, no prompt.
