The thing about these cookies and the privacy is that those cookies are accessible by everyone. And some websites can place cross site cookies and continue tracking you in detail just because you clicked that one link on that one website.

One reason the EU did this is to bring to light the tracking habits of websites and give some power to the user. Much like Apple did with their do not track me button on IPhone. A lot of people opted to not be tracked but before just didn’t have the option or were oblivious to being tracked to begin with. And trust me being as secretive as possible for tracking is by design. It’s scary the amount of info a website can get from your browser.
