The cookie banners are a byproduct of companies still wanting to abuse your data, when was the last time you saw a cookie pop-up on HN? Logged in or not.

If only there were some way that European citizens could have told their browsers to not accept Cookies, then maybe we all wouldn't have to click on those banners all the damn time.

But I do want most non-tracking cookies.

Still, the "please let us track" popups can be fixed by policy or law, and I hope they are.
