Do you accept cookies? Oh, what a stress, enough. We are from 2025, and every time we access a site we are asked if we accept cookies. I don’t know how many times every day. They were invented in 1994 by Lou Montulli, an engineer from Netscape (if you remember Netscape you are old like me), to remember users, then used to collect small information, trace navigation for advertising purposes, etc. Then came the European law, first the Eprivacy Directive in 2002, finally the GDPR regulation that came into force on 25 May 2018, the sites are obliged to ask for it every time.
Between one thing and another for ten years we have accepted cookies. However, you will tell me that there are people obsessed with privacy, who do not want to be profiled, who believe that each of them is dangerous as if they were Jason Bourne, in the good version, or Osama Bin Laden, in the bad one (but post their lives on Instagram), as if the CIA itself on them. They are the ones who do not accept cookies and it is good to ask them every time, also because they will feel sure and save in going to therapy.
But for me and those like me who does not matter anything, you can allow an automatic function that allows me to always accept them one
Time for all? Do you want to protect my privacy? Well, my privacy is not having a privacy, protect others and mine too. I accept cookies. I accept cookies. I accept cookies. Just don’t ask me anymore.
