Komonews now apparently does this crap where it needs to “process” your cookie opt-out, at least on mobile.

Any alternative news sources you’d recommend to follow? Just for stuff like weather or big events.

If you’re unfamiliar with this tactic, when you click “opt-out” the webpage basically displays this widget with a loading bar saying it needs to “process” your request. When in reality you’re asking them to simply not use cookies, so it’s saving the web browser time by not installing any cookies.

    pro tip: they still leave cookies, even when you “opt out”. You’re American, you don’t have a right to not be tracked. Use Firefox Focus, purge your cookies regularly.
