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?
In: Technology
A cookie is a file that the website stores on your machine, which allows the website to save your preferences (among other things.) The website can’t store user-specific information on its servers unless you have a username and password.
So if you accept the cookie, you only need to accept it once because you have the cookie and thus the site knows you accepted it. If you decline it, you have to decline it every time because without the cookie, the site doesn’t know that you declined the cookie.
