What we should've done is made browser vendors add EU cookie consent instead of every. single. website.
Then I can configure my browser for Always/Never/Ask or whatever.
That would've been too simple, of course.
- ewanm89 9y agoWell, if you look in the options you'll find Firefox actually does have an option whether to accept all cookies, only first party, no cookies or always ask. Chrome also has an option to deny all cookies, third party cookies or accept all (no ask here).
- kalleboo 9y agoIs it still only Safari that has the "from websites I visit" option? That's the most sensible one to me.
- lewiseason 9y agoDoes that mean same-domain? That basically meets the EU requirement for most tracking systems I think (where they're third party that is). "Accept the session cookie but not the Google Analytics one."
- kalleboo 9y agoIt means it will accept cookies for other domains if you have visited the other domain explicitly before. This makes things like embedded widgets work.
- lewiseason 9y agoAh see, that's the opposite of what I'd want, personally at least. The whole point imo of blocking cookies for privacy reasons is so that things like that can't track me around the web - explicitly visited or not.
- qbrass 9y agoFirefox got rid of the always ask option in version 44.
