    I like the sound of the headline. Ironically, I couldn’t read the article, as this banner covered most of the page:

    This site uses cookies, tokens, and other third party scripts to recognize visitors of our sites and services, remember your settings and privacy choices, and - depending on your settings and privacy choices - enable us and some key partners to collect information about you so that we can improve our services and deliver relevant ads. By continuing to use our site or clicking Agree, you agree that CBS and our key partners may collect data and use cookies for personalized ads and other purposes, as described more fully in our privacy policy. You can change your settings at any time by clicking Manage Settings.

    It appears I have to visit every “key partner’s” website to opt out. I use a tracking blocker extension, but still found it humorous.

      That is, indeed, very funny. I didn’t notice, likely due to NoScript, but it’s unfortunate that so many tech news outlets pursue such scummy tactics while preaching about privacy.
