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

975 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?

They all used them 10/15 years ago, most of them just didn’t tell you. The EU passed the GDPR which requires websites to tell you now.
