Cookies explained: Understand 'Accept All' vs 'Reject All' and make the right choice

Navigating the internet without encountering cookie prompts seems nearly impossible these days. You’ll usually see a pop-up asking you to either “accept all” or “reject all” cookies. Sometimes, there’s a third option or a link to further fine-tune your preferences. These pop-ups can be quite distracting, and your instinct might be to dismiss them quickly—perhaps by clicking that “accept all” button. But what are these cookies, really? Why do they keep popping up, and what are the consequences of accepting or rejecting them? As you’ll discover, each choice has implications for your online privacy.
