Which generation refused cookies? I feel like most look at me like I'm crazy, regardless of age, when I deny/only accept the functional cookies on sites every single visit.

    There's UBO filter-lists for that.

    Yeah, I don't think the two groups of people named in this post have much overlap. They seem pretty distinct to me as well

    When the Financial Times published the article, "This Bug in Your PC is a Smart Cookie" on 12 February 1996 I remember quite a lot of people getting upset about it. At the time most were on dialup so you had a different IP assigned every time you connected so the idea you were being tracked in any way was a shock.

    I just have my browser set up to delete all cookies whenever I close it. You want to set a cookie, knock yourself out, website. (I do also have various things that block some, but if more people just had "delete cookies at browser close" as default, that'd be a big deal.)

    https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic can help with some of that.

    uBlock origin has a filter available for these cookie popups

    Should be denying all. I refuse to use websites that say there are "functional" or "required" cookies. That's bullshit. Also use extension that block and/or scrub cookies.
