Oh the hilarious irony. Can anyone recommend an up to date Firefox addon that gets rid of these fucking popups, automatically declining all but necessary? I’ve looked at a few but I remember folks here recommending some that I can’t now for the life if me remember what they were. Thanks!

    Why is it that even when you refuse necessary cookies the site still seems to be 100% functional

      You shouldnt be actually able to refuse necessary cookies as the site needs to function even if you click ‘decline all’ by law.
      If a site does break, report it to the supervisory authority of your country.
      If you are in the US… hahahahah.

          The site is not really allowed to bother you with the cookie popup either.
          If you clicked whatever, the site has to make sure your choice is kept for a reasonable time.
          Asking again can be seen as trying to force you to allow more cookies, just so the popup doesnt appear again.
          That choice wouldnt be freely given and thus not valid as thats required by the regulation.

      All the “necessary” cookies are login stuff. If you never log in, it won’t affect you. And even if you do login, it simply won’t keep you logged in on subsequent visits.
