Micro: web design is getting out of hand…

I have to use a website called “Cognella” for a textbook at my university. It gives you one of those standard cookie prompts. Which allows you to enable or disable cookies, pretty standard right..? Well when you click “disable”, it logs you out immediately, and when you log back in you just get the same message to enable or disable cookies. So disabling cookies is the equivalent of hitting “I’m not 18” on a porn site. I’ve heard of them just being placebo, but never just outright refusing to serve you unless you consent to their tracking… great trend we are starting up guys. Guess they’re technically GDPR compliant. Turns out never mind, they’re fucking not!
