Newb question: what does it really mean when I click “Reject Nonessential Cookies”? Am I really being any more private by rejecting these? Just feels greasy like it’s a workaround for websites to get my information anyway? Should I navigate away from any sites that suggest this cookie configuration?

    it doesn’t matter. you should always be using a private browser like librewolf or mullvad. trust no sites. cookie banners are nothing more than thin legal requirements that make virtually no difference to your privacy. as the other guy on here says, it means, “fuck you. use my site and ill collect your data if i can get it”
