You are annoyed by stupid people who think they need a bunch of third party trackers on their site. Nobody, even not the EU, has problems with first party cookies.

This will change anyways with the GDPR.

Agreed that many, if not most, of the trackers on most websites are at the very least overkill, if not actively negative. I disagree that I need to be reminded that websites use cookies with a modal or popover every single time I visit a website that I visit daily.
