Show HN: No Cookie – Show your website visitors you don’t use cookies
- illustrioussuit 8y agoHey HN, creator here. I made this satirical project for me to learn how to make NPM modules and my goal was to release it in one day. It’s not for serious use. The code isn’t great. Like I said, I’m still learning. Here’s the GitHub: https://github.com/rockhopper72/no-cookie https://github.com/rockhopper72/no-cookie Pull requests welcome. Thanks!
- esilver 8y agoIt’s an inspired satirical project. I think there’s value in shipping something no-one would ever use; it allows you to see things from new perspectives.

- gitgud 7y agoGlad this is satirical, I was afraid this was a seriously misguided attempt to _enhance_ user experience...
- kevsim 7y agoFunny stuff! You spelled consent wrong in the pop up though ;-)
- sparrish 8y agoWhy annoy my users, even as a joke? I don't get this at all.
- nanobyte109 8y agoAdd localStorage or sessionStorage to make the accept button usable
- illustrioussuit 8y agoThanks for the feedback! I created an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/rockhopper72/no-cookie/issues/1 https://github.com/rockhopper72/no-cookie/issues/1
- Elzear 7y agoAn exceptions of the law probably applies when it comes to storing that particular information. If no exception apply, then you'd need to warn the users that some information are being recorded. https://law.stackexchange.com/q/30739/3980 https://law.stackexchange.com/q/30739/3980
- bendbro 8y agoKind of annoying that I have to hit the “X” every time I refresh the page or visit the site. Could you make it so the page stores some kind of state in my browser so I don’t have to do it manually every time?
- illustrioussuit 8y agoThanks for the feedback! I’ll definitely look into it.
- ktpsns 8y agoWell, that would be ironically if a website announces not to store cookies (as a user I also expect nothing else on my computer) but then makes use of some pesistent storage. Let's be honest: These badges which consume screen spaces are annoying and nobody ever reads them. I did not realize what it says (I automatically clicked the close box) before I read the main text of that No-Cookie website!
- illustrioussuit 7y agoThat's part of the point! I did intentionally try to design it similarly to a real cookie consent banner. It just goes to show how ineffective they are if people just click without even reading them.
- benbristow 7y agoCould use LocalStorage as that's not technically cookies.
- eridius 7y agoRather amusingly, my fairly simple ad-blocker is already blocking your no cookie banner.

- cosmos05 7y agoI personally 'ok' with websites using Cookies. It helps pulling webpage faster..
- masukomi 7y agoum. no. it.... no. That.... no. It may help you avoid logging in to a page again, but it will _not_ help load/pull the page faster. In fact, it will load it slower, because now there's more data to download, read, and process.
- masukomi 7y agowhy, in the would, would i need JavaScript to tell people I don't use cookies?! Why not just a note at the bottom of the page with no banner that needs to be closed. It's frustrating enough that I have to do it on the cookie sites, why in the world would you make me do it on a non-cookie site.
