So this means that the internet could have always worked fine without invasive cookies and everything they told us about it being impossible was just a lie.

Cookies serve important purposes for doing things like keeping you signed in as you navigate through multiple pages on a site.

The issue is that most parts of the internet were developed by people more interested in all the cool stuff you could do with it, and not at all concerned about the potential misuse by large multi billion dollar corporations.

You defend cookies in general. But the person youre replying to might have meant third-party cookies by "invasive cookies" ?
