Obviously every website use cookies, but it&amp;#x27;s nice to know what these cookies actually do. I&amp;#x27;ve already encountered a few news websites listing 100+ advertising&amp;#x2F;targeting companies whose cookies they use. That was quite eye-opening.
I also appreciate all the GDPR emails that landed in my email box recently. I&amp;#x27;ve replied to about every second of them asking for my account&amp;#x2F;data to be erased.</text></comment>

From a user&amp;#x27;s point of view, a huge majority of the websites have no reason to set a cookie. Anything where I don&amp;#x27;t login, just read some news, read some blog entries, inform myself about some products, or similar doesn&amp;#x27;t actually need cookies.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s just that in recent years the operators of the website have decided they&amp;#x27;d like to track and&amp;#x2F;or analyze their users (best case), or even send that data of to some 3rd party ad network. So I appreciate the heads-up. (Not that it matters, I delete the cookies anyway when I leave the site.)</text></comment>
