Why do seemingly ALL websites nowadays use cookies (and make it hard to reject them)?

1.00K viewsOtherTechnology

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?

I don’t care about cookies extension is great. Just know it will break some websites, but you can just exclude those that it doesn’t work on. ~~https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Dont-Care-About-Cookies~~

Edit: Don’t use “I don’t care about cookies”. Use the community updated extension “I still don’t care about cookies”.
