How to Block Cookie Warnings and Improve Your Productivity

You may have noticed that when you visit a website for the first time, it gives you a warning about cookies. Most of the time, it’s some kind of annoying pop-up window that says something like “This site uses cookies; click here to agree.”

This is because in 2002, the European Union passed a law called the “ePrivacy Directive” that says so. One of the rules it set was that websites had to get clear permission from their visitors before putting cookies on their computers.

Also, more and more people are worried about their privacy and how their information is used on the internet, so we can see why the European Union wants to try to help users.

Because these cookie warnings seem to be everywhere and because most people don’t really understand cookies, they seem to have a negative effect.

Unfortunately, most people find these cookie warnings to be very annoying. Blocking cookies in your browser either doesn’t help or makes the site unusable. Thanks to simple extensions, it’s easy to get around these cookie warnings on websites.
