Hot Take:

Remember when your Internet Service Provider (ISP) said, "We're here to help"? Well, looks like their "helping hand" might've been caught in the cookie jar of DNS interception. It's like having a nosy neighbor who not only judges your mail but also slips in a few "special offers" while they're at it. And just like that neighbor, even when you tell them to stop, they just can't help themselves. You wanted to visit Bleeping Computer for some light reading, but your ISP's overzealous DNS filter might redirect you to KnittingForCats.com because, you know, safety first!

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
