Have you noticed that websites often ask for a permission to run cookies?
For example, here.
However, often they only give the option to allow the cookies, but the "No" is not available and the banner cannot be removed any other way than saying "Yes".
So, effectively, pushing people to accept the cookies.
I find this so frustrating.
Do you have the same problem?
I work for a web hosting company, and although I'm not really totally fluent in the scripting side of things etc I do have a little insight into this, but I think everybody has explained everything anyway.
The other thing to be aware of is though is that if you clicked a reject button to say you don't want cookies, the only way to record that response is by setting a cookie. If they are doing it properly then that banner will come back on every page because it doesn't know you've said no because there is no cookie to tell it that fact.
I am using some paid proxy servers, but sometimes I need some proxies from other countries, but I don't want to pay money for using them. I am an SEO auditor, and it is my job to analyze websites from other countries, so having a good proxy is essential. Sometimes I need to analyze a website's activity in other regions, so there are some situations when I don't have the right proxy; in such a case, I will use the proxy https://soax.com/india-proxy. So thank you for contributing to my work.
