Er, I know my computer is 7 years old and shit,
but all I see is a page full of ads and a fucking great blank space where the actual content should be.

Got into the habit of clearing down cookies every day so I just okayed that,
maybe it's one of those new-fangled "hypertext" pages that displays best in Navigator 3.

Yeah, that's not a great idea. Your response will be sent back to the server and stored. Your deleting the cookie off your computer isn't going to change the fact that you've already agreed to the terms allowing them to sell your info to everyone and their dog. It merely means the consent button gets put back in your face again every time you visit.

There are a shitload of sites out there where the "reject cookies" option is either unclickable or non functional (easily monitored by clearing cookies just before visiting and checking the list again immediately afterwards. If you really care that much). Or the page requires 20 minutes worth of trawling through an itemised list of vendors on/off switches because they quite deliberately don't include a "reject all" button. Or there's the old "Don't worry, you can opt out of all this again by visiting this third party advertising preferences site."
Other than "just don't go on 95% of the internet", what do you suggest?

I've started to turn my back on sites that do this
Also using ghostery to block all trackers and restrict the site should hold true. Maybe.

Why don't we switch off the internet and go out and do something less boring instead
