Today all websites that have anti bot protection using pow (proof of work) already use cookies. Which is before they "ask you if you want to agree with cookies" haha. Dammit eu rules.

    ya the cookie law is outdated and short sighted, the law should instead extend to ability to consent to send any identifying information instead. (Easier to investigate and potentially punish websites that do not respect the setting)

    A website doesn't need to ask you for consent if the cookie is "strictly necessary". I'm not sure how those anti bot protections work, but I bet they made it fit the definition of a "strictly necessary" cookie.

    I know. I don't want those stupid cookie banners. Hence my "dammit eu rules".

    I created my own anti bot protection see https://angieguardian.org/. So basically all of them use cookies after you completed a pow or captcha. So next time you load the page it doesn't ask you again. Those cookies may expire within several hours until 1 week depending how the server/anti bot software configure them.
