    Is there a new cookie policy or something?
    Every website I open news, online shops, gardening websites etc, are asking to accept our new cookie policy.
    I know this is common but seems to have spread and increased immensely in the last week or so.

    He's making a list
    He's checking it twice
    He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
    Santa Claus is in contravention of article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679

    GDPR was enacted recently so everyone has to ask for permissions all over again

    Only if they have a naughty list.

    It's mostly about allowing websites permission to sell your details and history to advertisers and others of that ilk.

    Anytime you want you can delete all cookies on your device.
    Manually or using a utility like ccleaner.

    Of course, some companies are taking the piss. To opt out of cookies tracking with tumblr you have to tick over 300 boxes.

    Blame the EU. They don't understand the Internet. Under GDPR a phonebook is totally illegal.

    Can there not be an option on your browser where you agree to a disclaimer that you're not a fooking idiot and understand cookies so you never have to see the warnings again, they are a pure pain in the hole and warnings are only relevant to simpletons.
