Answer the cookie question
What a cookie is and what those banners are really asking you.
A cookie is a note a website leaves in your browser so it recognizes you: that you are signed in, what is in your cart.
The banner asks about a second sort: notes left by advertisers to follow what you look at.
Key points
- A cookie is a note a site leaves so it recognizes you
- Reject all refuses the advertising notes; the site still works
What to remember
- Refusing does not lock you out.
- The banner is about advertising notes, not the ones a site needs.
Try this
On the next banner, press Reject all instead of Accept all, and watch the page open.
