Whoa. For me its cookie choice box gives me one choice: agreeing to be tracked. I've never seen that, but it strikes me as pretty rude.

Don't waste time on that nonsense, let the software deal automatically with denying consent to being tracked.


Actually it offers second choice if you read the text. Don't agree and lose some vertical space while using the site.


Right click, inspect, delete cookie question element!


And it's also illegal in EU. The GRPD imposes to have the choice to reject tracking cookies. And it must be easy to reject, not hidden somewhere or requiring one to manually delete the cookies with the browser mechanisms.


Fortunately the browser has the option to disable cookies. I've never understood why people just don't use this option.


Yep, browsers should have per-domain cookie jars that get wiped when the all tabs/windows using that domain are closed.. and then a button not to wipe them on those few domains that you actually need them (to stay logged in).

But this is what you get when you have politicians dealing with technology.


Lack of decent UX for cookie management.


So ripe for an extension or add-on?


How do you login


login to what? as far as i can tell, it has no account functionality
