I accept cookies

I know there is legislation and regulation that insist permission has to be granted to allow sites to download cookies to users.

I personally prefer not to be bombarded with advertising  - targetted or otherwise - if I want a service or to buy something I am well capable of instigating my own searches.

That said a degree of latitude has to be granted to enable one to navigate certain sites - a form of blackmail in my opinion.

That all said I find it particularly annoying as I attempt to get familiar with New Edge I in preparation for the execution of Explorer.

Every time I switch on my PC and launch Edge I have to accept cookies . 🤬

Is there any way that this can be overcome by accepting for all time that whenever I use Edge I will accept cookies  - because if I don't the next step hast be switch it off as it will not work for me.🤬 ????

Thank you for coming to my assistance.

My windows 10 Version is 19041.630

The edge version is 86.0.622.69

"If you are using Edge Chromium" ??

This phrase means nothing to me unfortunately

As far as I am aware I am using "New Edge" as defined by the Windows10 updates.

irrespective of the above ambiguity I have followed your text and confirm

Allowed sites to save and read cookies is ON

Block third part cookies is ON

There are no blocked sites listed

There are no allowed sites listed

There are no temporarily allowed at this point of viewing.

"add a web site used regularly and allow cookies"

What exactly is " [*.}example.com " attempting to illustrate to me ?

Where do I locate such specific information of the form relative to any particular site I may wish to add?

E.G. - The BBC , M&S, John Lewis

When I open Edge The screen I see has a box "Search the Web"

The symbol at the right looks a bit like a fancy sort of " b "

Never took much note of this before - is this in fact the search engine "Bing" I am looking at by default ??

It is the " I accept " at the bottom I am referring to in my frustration.

Perhaps on reflection - in partial ignorance it is not Edge that is irking me it is the default presence of Bing !! - assuming that is the case - same question applies.

Do I have to accept Bing as the host search Engine ?

Thanks for your interest

Prompted by you I have learnt an awful lot - especially use of the feedback.

Kind Regards

it's really energy wasting - everytime I open Edge I need to accept the cookies - for FB, Instagram, etc...it's since the update of Edge - is there a way to avoid accepting cookies all the time? if not - I might need to drop Edge.
