Undismissable Privacy Popups...

This has reminded me to use a Virtual Machine sandbox for browsing so I can accept all the crud and restore back to original snapshot at end of each session so all cookies are cleared next session. Track that mother****ers.

Only issue with that is the need to faff around logging in to frequently visited sites like CUK each session. Hence laziness means I can't be bothered firing up the VM.

I suppose I could set up the snapshot to include only the site cookies I want to preserve. Should get the job done.

Try the Autotrader app instead of the website.

Blame the cretins designing the websites. Plenty of sites do it less obtrusively, so find alternative sites for whatever you're looking for and boycott the crap.

The real solution as shown in the current/last season of Silicon Valley is to turn the whole thing around so websites aren't reliant on monetising its user's data on an advert based income. Still waiting for the micropayment alternative though.

Something seems to have changed wrt third party cookies and some browsers have gone massively overboard in demanding you approve absolutely everything. Which means the users will just click approve to everything to get rid of the annoyances and end up being more exposed to nasties than before.

...on mobile devices.

Am I the only one seeing a spate of this recently?

Can't even while away half an hour waiting in the barbers browsing Autotrader

Why have we got to have the facking things anyway - I'm sick of all the extra clicks I have to do to get rid of them when they actually work.
