Eli5-Why do websites repeatedly ask for cookie permission?

814 viewsOtherTechnology

Why if I decline cookies on a website I’ll be asked the next time I visit that website if I give permission for cookies but if I approve cookies I’m never asked again?

The website only knows what you pressed last time by storing that information using cookies, so if you decline all cookies, it will treat you as a first-time visitor next time. For sites you visit often, go into the cookie preferences and opt in to the functional cookies while staying out of the analytics and advertising ones.
