What is with all these cookie popups, and why do we need to accept them?

In this video, we will take a technical look at cookies and try to understand what they really are and why the internet as we know it today cannot work without cookies. And yes, I will show you a way to get rid of all these messages without impacting your privacy.

All opinions expressed are my own. While I did my best to represent all facts as accurate as possible, mistakes are possible. Let me know in the comment section below if you find any factual errors.
