Look, I'm not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don't care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn't want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They'd rather buy lottery tickets.

They can stop tracking you, that way they don't have to ask anything… which is precisely what they don't want to do

Probably not, but a lot of them do. Meanwhile, I'd already solved that problem in a more-effective way than Brussels had by not letting them retain cookies at all, so what Brussels accomplished was to make a bunch of cookie popups get thrown in my face and require me to disable my more-effective solution if I don't want to click through them all the time.

uBlock origin has lists to remove a lot of the popups (and blocks most trackers), browsing the Web in 2024 without it is torture.

I'm using uBlock too. This is what makes it through.

EDIT: Not to mention that even the EU's own website didn't stop using tracking cookies. Even they just started throwing up the dialog. And I just checked, and they're still doing that in 2024 and still showing it to me, though I'm not in the EU.
