I know what a cookie is and never really cared. Seems like a fair trade for a wealth of entertainment and knowledge that 30 years ago would cost considerable amounts to obtain. An ad for board games because I Googled board games doesn't make me feel like I sold my soul to the devil, like some seem to believe.

I hate the cookie pop-ups with a passion, its done nothing but discourage visiting new sites, which is awful for the internet. It pushes you to use sites you already know of (which are generally quite big).
