Sure, you're forced to decline manually on every single browser you sign into, and the setting doesn't sync across browsers so you're inclined to just hit ok to the pop-up by the 4th or 5th time you see it. I finally moved to Firefox recently and I have zero regrets, it's faster with a nicer UI.
Thank you! I just went and turned them off after seeing your comment.
FWIW I always delete my browsing history at the end of each session, but maybe it is time to use a different browser.
