Do you "accept cookies"

granddi — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 01:06:57 GMT

There is hardly any site that does not have to pop up to "accept cookies" If you do not then it is a process to go to settings. And you just cannot ignore.

Usually, I don't....depends on how badly I want to view the material. It's a pain.

@granddi my mind went right to do you accept homemade Christmas cookies baked by others!

No. I try to work around that request. If not, I leave the site.

@granddi i used to decline them, but now I'm finding that websites are insisting that they be accepted. So, mostly I do now but with some I won't and I just leave the website. I find it all annoying and very controlling!

What are computer cookies and what are they used for?

To follow and record your every digital move. Look up "hat" and before you can blink, you will have a couple "hat ads"!

Does that clear the "cookies"??? Not very tech savvy here.

I try not to. Some can let you just say no and move on into the site. Others you have to take a few steps which I sometimes do.

But some sites I have accepted, just to get in, as it wasn't that obvious how to deny them. So, mostly I try not to wherever possible, and occasionally I do accept.

Also, sometimes if I can't deny and I don't want to enter the site that bad, I'll just leave it.

@hckynutjohn

Thank you for the info. I am not computer savvy and whenever I saw that question I always checked "no."

But usually when I do just generally search for something I will get alot of ads for that item and I find that very annoying.

Thanks again for your reply.
