Do You Accept Cookies?

Not the edible kind.

Every site I come upon Asks to Accept Cookies, or some version of that.

Do you accept them? Go into choices and only accept the Necessary ones? Close the site?

Or do you just read the AI generated summary.

P.S. If I offer you the edible kind, turn them down. I can’t make cookies.
 

Idinit wild how every website suddenly became a bake sale :ROFLMAO:
I only accept them if it's absolutely necessary in order to view the site's content ... if I'm even interested.
Those I accept, I don't worry about because all cookies are deleted when I close my browser.
I figure why take all the time to go into choices and check options when they are just deleted on browser closure.

Yes, I almost always accept them.

With any browser, it is easy to delete all your cookies if you want, but I don't find it necessary. We all need to be smart when we're on the net, but it's a balance. Having to type in my username and password every damn time gets old. So yeah, cookies are fine for me.

NOTE: I have plug ins for my browser that suppress pop ups, and stop redirection to nefarious web sites.

It depends on how simple a step it is to reject them. Some have a reject all button but others have a customize button. In any case, I try to ignore the dialog box if I can do so and still read the content on a page.
If I can't avoid cookies, I hit the back button and get out of there.
My opinion is I shouldn't have to accept them.

I don't even know what they are, actually.

They're small text files that keep information about the interaction you had with a specific site. For example, what logon you used, and the password. They make it easier to interact with the site next time you visit. Think of it as a bookmark.
 
Some sites make it difficult for you to refuse cookies by asking you to unclick every single marketing cookie and there are usually more than 10 or even 20 of them.
