In order to use some websites these days, there are so many hoops you have to jump through. If it isn’t asking you for permission to accept all cookies (but seriously, where are these cookies?) or to reassure them that you are not in fact a robot, are you even using the internet?

The fact that we even need to tick a box in order to prove that we are not robots is kind of strange. Surely robots are smart enough that they would be able to tick a box? Apparently, it doesn’t even matter, because robot or not this person isn’t allowed to use this website.
