Weird cookie policy

[tlink]

I was just debugging why the origin website refused to load on firefox even though i had disabled every add on i run, so i opened it in microsoft edge and voila it worked. i get confronted with the typical cookie setting banner and as always i open it to set it to functional only. this time for funsies i decide to take a deeper look at the cookies i enable when i have it on the bare minimum, no statistics nothing. and on the bottom of the list i emediatly find a site statistics cookie(comScore u.mdotlabs.com, u.mdotlabs.com). (atleast i think this is statistics since it says so in the description of it). I'm really confused, why is this allowed when on functional only? this is clearly not a functionality cookie. i found other cookies such as SQUARESPACE(web design/hosting company)? jetblue(aviation company)? and cookies from a company that it lists as "Unknown", when i expand it it also states "Unknown" with after that a link to the privacy policy for the cookie vendor which leads to a 404 error. this just reeks of bad design and shittyness if you ask me. not even to mention that the service they use for cookie preferences called TRUSTe takes a HORRIBLY long time to update cookie preferences (it took me more than 5 minutes how hard can it be?). can somebody who knows wtf they are talking about explain to me if there is a good reason behind this or if this really is what it looks like at face value?

 

TL;DR: are these cookies origin website forces with the bare minimum cookie setting justified or bullshit?

 

also this is at the start of saving preferences:

and this is when its almost finished:

 

how in the world does this process take so incredibly long?
