This is why I don't bother with cookie monitoring at all, and why I plug my ears and say "la la la" and pretend that everything will be alright. I really don't want to spend the time figuring out how to make my bank work.

I suppose when the government gets in the game, either through direct tracking or just making laws requiring tracking companies to keep particular data for particular lengths of time, then it will be a civil liberties issue and I'll care more. But it will probably also be illegal by then to circumvent tracking.

But that's just crazy. That would be like the government demanding that ISPs keep credit card information on their customers.

For banking and stuff with way too much Javascript I use a second browser, and I do a complete wipe of all private information after every use.
chromium --temp-profile --no-first-run is the ticket for me.
