On my sites you will see a nasty full page ad that requires you to agree to cookies. I know it got you. It got me too. But I have no other choice as the European data protection law is written in such a way that it requires you to actively, not passively, consent to cookies. That is, you must press the button yourself. In doing so, it requires:

– so that you can refuse both all together, and from each separately
– so you can change your mind
– so that all these services, except for those that completely destroy the site, are disabled until you agree.
