Yes, the most "funny" ones are the ones which pretend you can decline/configure the tracking but only sets you on a long chain of "configure here" links until you end up in a dead end. Or they let you configure non-essential tracking but the essential tracking you can not switch off contains all the worst tracking sites and is definitely not essential for the technical operation of the site... Also this site tend to have over 100 different trackers which is totally insane.

... and once you are through with it they need a few minutes to "save" the choices.

And at the end "saving" fails "for technical reasons. Try again later."

I see that we are talking about Oath... what they are doing is so blatantly illegal.

Any site giving me the Oath popup i just instaclose. Even if it's linked from a site i regularly check, like HN.

And they probably don't handle the case where you have instructed your browser to not accept any cookies - that is at least an option lynx gives me and an option I seem to remember from my youth in Netscape.
