For those interested in reading the actual journalism, not a blog re-writing someone else's work:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-amazon...

The HN link should probably be changed.

The link should be changed anyway - that cookie control thing is the worst ever, offering no control.

The one at Reuters isn't that much better. If you refuse, Reuters will immediately forget your "Managed Consent" and slam you in the face again on your next visit.

I suspect they have no problem remembering your consent forever, it's just refusal that gets immediately forgotten.

If you reject their use of cookies how are they supposed to remember your rejection the next time you visit?

If the law doesn't make a single exception so the webpage can store a boolean value into a cookie to know this user doesn't want to be bothered with any _other_ cookies the law is wrong.

It does make exception for cookies used to make the site function.
