Just been to my local council website to book a visit to the recycling centre.
It asks you to accept cookies so I thought I'd have a look at the list of cookies "from us and our partners"
Over 390 !
That is by no stretch of the imagination reasonable

In most cases when asked to accept cookies one has an option to decline and doing so should not have an effect on the functionality of the page. Never realised a negative impact so far when disabling non-essential cookies. It may be necessary to select some settings from a menu, but often a Decline option is right next to the Accept button.
Facebook was the most complex provider with respect to cookie control, surprise, surprise.

What I find really annoying is sites that state "we value your privacy" then want to track you. The other one is sites which say they will show you adverts which interest you which none of them ever do. Firefox has now got tracking protection built in which blocks most of them or there is an extension called Privacy Badger which lists everything it blocks. I still use CCleaner to delete the unwanted cookies quite frequently.

I find the whole privacy stuff around cookies annoying. If I'm quickly surfing for some information and hitting random websites its another click or wait for it to load I could do without. Having to pay for that red tape also takes the biscuit so to speak. I guess if you always go to the same handful of websites it doesn't really affect you.
As for tracking itself, I really don't care. Perhaps someone can give me a good reason why I should?

I seem to remember that it was the EU which insisted on these permissions becoming necessary, so maybe they will stop having to waste our time now we are no longer being controlled by the army of Eurocrats trying to justify their existence. Unless of course our civil servants decide to keep this pointless regulation.

I dont know how good/bad it is but you could try monetizing your browsing.

I haven't yet but I was toying with the idea of creating a new virtual PC, installing it, then perhaps trying to inject a browsing loop to run it constantly.
Scheduled task to run an AutoIt job that runs the browser, confirms popups etc....dont know if it'll work but could be fun to find out. No idea how many pence/pounds it could generate at this point

Why stop there - just have an army of VMs or containers. Presumably they've thought about that though... But yes good idea. I might try it one day... OH. Problem is it joins the list of companies that ban eastern european countries which is where I am so I either have to fire up my socksproxy running at home in the UK or click a load of buses....
