Why do I keep getting asked to accept cookies?
Why websites ask you to accept cookies The reason reflects a data privacy protection law that governs online data tracking and transparency. This opt-in is designed to give users greater control over their data, knowing information is being collected if they give consent to that data collection.
In short, it means companies need to get your explicit consent to collect your data. If a cookie can identify you via your device (which most cookies do), then companies need your consent. That’s why you see lots of websites asking for your permission before dumping a cookie on your computer.
Cookies are small files that websites store on your phone or computer to help them remember information about you and your visit. That said, while occasionally clearing cookies can be beneficial, we recommend leaving your cookies enabled because blocking them leads to an inconvenient and unsatisfying web experience.
