A large portion of websites I visit for the first time all show a cookie consent banner. I was curious what accepting or rejecting in that banner actually does. After all, as a web developer, I'm used to seeing most cookies sent with the initial page load.
So I've started using the browser dev tools to just look over the list of cookies that are sent and stored to my browser even after selecting "Reject All" or whatever the closest option is, in the cookie consent banner.
Turns out I usually still see a flood of marketing and ad related cookies. A few sites I've reported as a bug back to the site owner, with a reponse of "thanks for surfacing this, we'll work on it.."
Curious what other people are noticing. And in general, is cookie consent a real thing, or are these consent banners just part of normal UX now and people include them without really implementing the corresponding app behaviors?
I wouldn't try to implement anything yourself. Use one of the game building toolkits already out there.
If you don't mind going vintage, this is one I used many years ago, it's for building 3D games similar to DOOM, for DOS. You might need a dos emulator to run it in if your OS is too new to support it. Fun to play with though.
I'd use one of the existing game toolkits that you can build a 3d game on top of, not try to build anything from scratch. If you want to go vintage this was a DOS app for creating DOOM style 3D games.
Doesn't appear to be related to Firefox. I tried it from Chrome on my desktop (with dev-tools emulating a Nexus 5). See screenshot. Looks like if you're on a mobile device at all they want you to use the app instead of your browser.
