Reject All Cookies
Cookies taste good but are bad for your health......
Something has been happening over the last several months, in concert with each other, which is usually the way it works with pending Dictatorships.
The Sheeple have few chances left to at least pretend to fight the digital prisons of our future. As we have all seen, it matters not what Party is in power as the March towards technocracy knows no master.
First, if you haven’t read my somewhat satirical post on the Cookies that websites place on your phone, please take a look at this. It will give you a preview of what this is all about.
The Big Plan
In the last 6 months, websites all over the world have been "required” or recommended by legal counsel to provide informed consent of their surveillance, presumably to reduce liability in the event they are caught stealing personal information via the Internet without your knowledge. The source of their surveillance are those "Cookies" that are installed on your “privately” owned phone or computer.
Unlike files you manually download, these little files are automatically installed and uploaded back to the server that placed them there with data about your Internet activity and device since the last time you connected with that website. Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) has no effect. The phases of this surveillance and control followed these steps:
1. As the Internet got started, "surveillance cookies" were placed on your phone without your knowledge by webmasters that sold the collected data for advertising and other purposes. You were never given a chance to approve of this activity. That’s what made the Internet “free”, yet nothing is free.
2. As people became aware of this inherently illegal operation (no informed consent), laws were developed (starting in Europe) to require operators to let you know that "surveillance cookies" will be placed on your phone when you use their website as well as link from their site to other places that will also install "surveillance cookies".
You were given three (3) options:
A. Accept All Cookies
B. Accept Minimal (Required) Cookies
C. Reject All Cookies
The Silent Change
The last bit of our Internet privacy, the ability to Reject Cookies entirely, are now being taken away. They hope we don’t notice, but we must.
We better know whats going on before we blindly accept the total surveillance world that, so far, has had virtually no significant resistance by people anywhere in the world.
What this seemingly innocuous change in use of cookies means is that Mr. Global’s worldwide Internet surveillance project for humanity has recently taken a dangerous turn. Simply, it will place us on a path where there will be zero privacy when we connect to the Internet.
Not that we ever had much Internet privacy, but at least a system of laws was put in place in recent years that could be monitored by 3rd parties or IT experts in the legal profession to see if websites were actually doing as they said they would do - not install "surveillance cookies" when you reject them.
To avoid potential legal issues beginning in 2025, website operators started removing the "reject surveillance cookies" option en masse. That's very bad for all of us because “cookies” are the prime tool for control in our digital prisons, if we allow it to happen.

🧁 The Core Problem with Cookies Today
You also hit on something even more disturbing.
Rejecting cookies is slowly being phased out.
Many websites now have dark patterns to push you into "Accept All".
Others require cookies to even load basic content.
Some wrap tracking into “strictly necessary cookies” — even when it’s not necessary at all.
Many sites use client-side fingerprinting which doesn’t even require cookies.
This shift is deliberate. It's about keeping the surveillance economy intact, even as users wake up to it.
What to Do
My advise is simple and easily done, at least for those that still give a damn about a future with a reasonable expectation of personal privacy. Here it is:
For websites you visit that have moved to the "no reject" option, do two things.
1. Don't continue on that website even if it means not visiting or doing business with someone that you used to do business with. That might be tough, but critical if meaningful change is going to happen.
2. Send the website owner a message telling them why you are no longer going to visit or do business with that website. Here is a sample:
“To whom it may concern.
I want you to know that I will not do business with any company whose IT policy doesn't allow me to REJECT all surveillance cookies on your or your partners websites. Cookies are only necessary for surveillance of my Internet activity and device and I won't abide by that. You don’t need to have Cookies for the operation of an Internet website, even those involved in e-commerce. We don’t require things that your Cookies provide like “Grocery Carts” that track stuff we decided not to buy. We don’t mind logging in with each session because we do that all the time regardless. We don’t want you to store our credit card information on a server we don’t control. Simply, Convenience is not a tradeoff for Privacy or Security.
The IT people that are part of the surveillance system lie about the necessity of cookies to operate or even monetize your website - WE DON’T NEED IT. As people get more educated about surveillance cookies, more will leave you from your required use of cookies than for reasons of Convenience.
I won't be a part of the digital prison surveillance state. Neither should you.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen”
That shouldn't be too hard, at least for websites that aren't involved in our banking, insurance and finance world. For those businesses there is another option. Don't do mobile banking or related financial transactions online. This is a good thing to do regardless because of the inherent security risk of doing any financial transactions online, especially relating to your taxes or other activities requiring digital transmission of your SS numbers, DL numbers, phone numbers, birth dates, home addresses.
In my case, I have moved to Substack from Wordpress that killed the "reject surveillance cookies" option just in the last month. 1 Here is the Substack notification:
This is what you now see when you visit my Wordpress website. There is no longer a “reject surveillance cookies” option.
Close and Accept? I think not.
Bye bye Wordpress!
The Dark Side that is about to use the Control Grid to place all of us in Digital Prisons expects us to do as we have always done - accept their world and go along with whatever they tell us to do in exchange for our page views. All for the same instant gratification that drug addicts get with their next hit.
Things are happening so quickly with the digital noose tightening around our necks. Many will refuse to see what’s happening because of their addiction and feelings of helplessness. Or, they just don’t care “because I have nothing to hide”.
What you have accumulated on your “device”, subject to surveillance and capture by the so called harmless cookies, is nothing less than a dossier of your entire Internet life. It’s not just the places you visit that helps profile you, but you might as well tell strangers in the street your home address, email address, phone numbers, who your friends and relatives are, who you voted for and your public and private interests. 2 In summary, the harmless “cookies” are the most harmful aspect to the Internet that now controls nearly everything in our lives. What are we going to do when Mr. Global removes all those silly road signs that are difficult to maintain? Better have your phone and GPS tuned on.
I am here to say we can and must do something en masse to stop the loss of privacy.
Isn't it time we at least try to stop them?
REJECT COOKIES.
And, while you’re at it, get rid of Google/Gmail. A little less screen time and a little more face time will do you good as we all begin the recovery process.

They also use Zendesk, another organization that should be cancelled because their purpose is to eliminate interactions with people that are actually employed by the businesses you deal with. Not to mention they don’t know what they are doing and seldom have correct answers which come two weeks later.
Google was also caught red handed when they deployed an early AI tool to open and read email messages on their “free” gmail.com service to identify keywords to use in targeted advertising. What else did they discover about you?
