     @martenson @aaron First: cookies that require a cookie notice are third-party cookies and all third-party cookies imply the (drumroll) the presence of a third party and – more likely than not – tracking. Second: you’re mainstreamplaining to guy who has his own web server and framework, built and maintained a tracker blocker for over half a decade, and has been programming computers for over four decades.
