  and in practice, if you want a website not to recognize you from one place to the next, you need to make it TECHNICALLY impossible for them to do that (depending on severity: private browsing, IP changing, Tor), not just legally declare you don’t want them to

  I have a question, it’s maybe stupid but still:

  Aren’t cookies, like, files on your device?? Can’t you just forbid websites to write anything to disk??

    Legally, you are right.

    Technically, browsers do not offer all settings that you can dream of.

    It’s not just about cookies, they spy on you in other ways.
