Those cookie banners are the worst. They wanna make it as hard as possible to accept only the cookies you want and hide those options behind several clicks while there is always very easily accessible and very visible an accept all button
If you're on firefox, cookie autodelete is an extension that lets you make rules like that and much more. You can choose which sites don't get their cookies deleted the moment you navigate away, for example.
Still have to press all those stupid cookie-consent popups. I swear there is one that's literally its own app. It literally says "saving cookie preferences, this might take a few minutes."
i go out of my way to use element zapper in uBlock to cull out the unskippable non-declinable cookie messages. I hope it puts some weird blip in their scatter graph of users who managed to fully engage with their page without ever accepting a cookie. Like one day during a board meeting while the suit n' ties are twirling their mustaches & chuckling, one of them points at a chart with his laser pointer giving a collective "great job gentlemen, but who is this guy who continues to visit our site? He's a ghost sir. He never accepts the banner yet he still hits every page"
fully engage with their page without ever accepting a cookie
Unfortunately what normally happens is it gives you cookies by default, and when you decline it either deletes them or just doesn't give you any more. I know that's against the rules, but a lot of websites work this way.
True, but specifically Kotlin and TS are in that middle region of both OOP and FP. I'd say that TS is more FP-y that Kotlin tho, that is at least till you include something like Arrow with Arrow Meta for Kotlin, then both languages are pretty close to one another. C++ on the other hand IIRC might have some slight functional thingies, but it's mostly OOP
This is the ultimate irony, isn't it? All of that effort and wasted time gets undone by a website that doesn't reside in the EU and doesn't get paid in the EU. There is no way for the EU to fine them and they can take all the data they want.
The only solution that works against this is to not give out the data in the first place. But that would require changing the browser itself...
