New internet rules set to make cookies crumble.
-----------------------------------------------

How websites track visitors and tailor ads to their behaviour is about to undergo a big shake-up.

These files are widely used to help users navigate faster around sites they visit regularly.

Wonder if you can track the consent or non-consent with a cookie .
