Oh my god, you just triggered some horrifying memories of that popup.

No, you definitely don't want the web browser to ask.

In the dial-up days I remember turning on ask to set cookies. It was fairly common to need to deny 10-20 cookie requests even back then. Now there are extensions to manage website trackers that deal with more than just cookies. Extensions are a ton better than having the user agree to each cookie that is sent.
Yep.
You don’t want the browser to ask because the large number of cookies is so normal.
It was brutal even back then.
