What the title says. I remember, let’s say 10/15 years ago cookies were definitely a thing, but not every website used it. Nowadays you can rarely find a website that doesn’t give you a huge pop-up at visit to tell you you need to accept cookies, and most of these pop-ups cleverly hide the option to reject them/straight up make you deselect every cookie tracker. How come? Why do websites seemingly rely on you accepting their cookies?
In: Technology
They don’t rely on you accepting cookies. They just really want you to accept them so they can track every little thing about you, but the GDPR forced them to be more “transparent” about this desire. Many websites were happily using cookies to track you before the GDPR legislation came in.
