Just opened a website. Got a cookie banner, just like I am used to. Pressed “Only neccessary”, just like I am used to. Two things happened:
- “Applying my settings” took quite some time, I am talking about nearly a minute here. This really helps if I want to do productive work…
- Is have set my device to prevent cross-site tracking; in particular, cookies from third parties usually get blocked right away. The website told me that if I want to opt-out of some cookies, I need to allow third party cookies. Hence I see the following options:
- Allow third-party cookies on my device to block third-party cookies?
- Disallow third-party cookies on my device and be unable to disallow unneccessary cookies.
Not quite sure who invented that. But I am quite sure that I will not visit this website again.
Disclaimer
My productivity really got lost on the way - since I not only did not receive the information I wanted to have but I also had to quickly write this blog post.
Also, I will not publish the name of the website.
