Orthogonal : I have to say I really dislike the cookie permissions dialog El Reg now use.

The first page is shows you with the "reject all" is only for the page of options you're on to start with - the "legitimate uses" page has a ton of stuff opted-in by default, and to turn those off, you have to click on every company, one by one.

Also, once you've hit "reject all", I can find no way to get that permissions dialog back again.

It's a deliberate UI approach to trick you into accepting a ton of cookies without knowing you've done so.

Wouldn't removing all cookies and local storage force the dialog back? Also, if the site needs consent to collect data, hiding the dialog with adblocker is preferable to clicking anything, no?
