WE are protecting YOUR privacy...???

I feel the same way and do not accept their cookies, very frustrating.

If I just want to read an article and it wants to add cookies I decline and move on

It’s just gathering data of the sites you show an interest in , which to me is an invasion of MY privacy :-(

Isn't it one of those EU laws that was supposed to be repealed on Feb 1st?

I thought it was supposed to happen, but maybe not, someone somewhere will know I’m sure.

In my opinion they do share your information even if you don’t want them to which is why I don’t agree.
