@robpike@cosocial.ca But they don't want to do that. Because they want to make you so tired of this crappy experience that you eventually will click "Accept".

@robpike@cosocial.ca Likewise, if I dismiss your cookie panel that is informative only, do not show it to me again every time I return to the page (UnitedHealthcare Medicare).

@robpike@cosocial.ca every time I think about this for me than two minutes, I remember that a better solution would have been to add a "usage type" to the cookie spec with values like "session state", "preference", "login", "advert tracking", and the website would set the type on the cookies they were sending, and then people could configure their browser to say which cookie types they accepted, and we need never have had a single fucking consent pop up.
