MODERATORS
If cookie prompts annoy you (and why wouldn't they? Complicated and time wasting prompts caused by terrible and compromised legislation that's led to far more intrusion instead of enforcing use of browser settings) and you don't care about cookies, then the browser extension "I don't care about cookies" suppresses the vast majority.
