Most of those "strictly functional" cookies aren't strictly functional either.

I block ALL cookies and many of those sites with "strictly functional" cookies still function, which means that those cookies aren't necessary.

Strictly functional cookies don't mean the site doesn't work without them.

It does mean e.g. clicking "°F" every time on a weather site, because you're an American living in Europe. A strictly functional cookie could remember that choice.
