The cookie/privacy warnings that only a few sites used to have are now everywhere. I've even encountered sites that won't let me browse them at all unless I unblock cookies, because the cookie pop-up never goes away unless you do that.
The current business model of the Internet is only sustainable because great swathes of people are ignorant or apathetic about privacy and advertising, and how to use filters to deal with it all.
Vendors are not eating their own dog food.
@thor If you choose "no," how are they supposed to make the warning go away and stay away other than by *setting a cookie* against the wish you just expressed?
@mattskala As I suggested further up in the thread, websites should have some way of requesting cookie permissions through a browser API. The browser should then ask the user, and remember the choice. It could work a bit like mobile apps and their permissions.
@mattskala This is where laws and computers struggle to interact.
