Yes, there are people, they don't want to be tracked around while they browse the internet(which is a way cookies are used).

I do decline cookies on many pages myself.

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

MKBHD is but an Apple propagandist and fanboy. Take his videos with a grain of salt, especially about anything Apple. In his video titled "I Visited Apple's Secret iPhone Testing Labs!", he has shown that he makes no effort to fact check Apple's claims, and takes it at face value. I do not believe he can be trusted as an Reviewer/Influencer.

yes i know what you @RockSolid1106 @thrasher_565 means but doesn't cookies help you get information faster or am I wrong ?

no it used to track you meting they collect your data. what sites you visited and so on. to then sell to others. most sites that have the pop up wont let you visit it with out accepting it.

AFAIK, no.

Cookies are used to store data in the browser, the most common one(aside from tracking ones) being login cookies. Let's say you login to this forum. The server sends a cookie to your browser. This cookie contains an authentication string. Now, every time you visit the forum, your browser will send that cookie back to the server. This way, the server can authenticate you, without having you enter the password every time.

@thrasher_565 @RockSolid1106 So it is a bad thing then is they can track you and sell your data to 3rd party companies if so then shouldn't we all just be declining when the pop up comes??

depends if you value that data. i mean a smart device or facebook is probly far worse as it out right records you. you can go down the road of trying to block it but its along road.
