Fake quotes are so prevalent that everybody is on edge. If there is any question at all on the source of your quote, somebody will jump down your throat over it. Linking to the post you are quoting is only good enough if you are quoting the whole post. When quoting only a portion of the post, you need to include further details on where we can source your quote within the post.

What do you mean?

44. Doesn't warn you that it uses cookies
Just set your browser to warn you.

without proper certificate the https causes a browser-specific block page that require several clicks to access within. All the browsers do have this.

It is illegal to not warn of cookies. Why would you enter a illegal site ?

Name: Anonymous 2017-02-15 3:24

without proper certificate
What is "proper certificate" even supposed to mean?
Does it mean revoked? Using a broken algorithm? Using NSA curves? Using a RSA/DSA/DH bit length less than 2Kio? Using a broken or almost broken hash algorithm to sign the cert? Using static DH certs?

the https causes
The https protocol (http over tls) causes nothing of that sort.

It is illegal to not warn of cookies
[citation needed]

Why would you enter a illegal site ?
gelbooru/danbooru/exhentai/pixiv are all illegal in many countries such as the uk and canada as well as in some states of USA. I can however think of many reasons of why you would wish to use them.
Moreover illegal does not mean bad, all of the above sites are good.

1. Here is what I want you to do: copy the string https://bbs.progrider.org/lounge/ and paste it into a browser you haven't used lately. For me, that browser was Chrome. Here is what I found:

Your connection is not private Attackers might be trying to steal your information from bbs.progrider.org (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID Automatically report details of possible security incidents to Google. Privacy policy

But similar warning signs are found in Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc. This warning results from poor maintenance of https certificate from the web master end.

2. Here is your citation: https://www.cookielaw.org/the-cookie-law/

Why would you use Chrome when Chromium exists?

Your connection is not private Attackers might be trying to steal your information from bbs.progrider.org (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID Automatically report details of possible security incidents to Google. Privacy policy
You should blame let's encrypt for releasing certificates with short expiration dates.

This warning results from poor maintenance of https certificate from the web master end.
Dead men don't update certificates.

2. Here is your citation: https://www.cookielaw.org/the-cookie-law/
This is not a citation and only talks about cookies used for tracking, not cookies used for authentication for example.

Why would you use Chrome when Chromium exists?
I did not use Chrome. As is clear in that previous statement I required a browser I did not use lately to show you how your post was in error.

Second, a cookie is a cookie. There is no special cookie for tracking, all cookies is open to access from interested parties and must be exposed in warning to allow users to not accept.

Don't change these.
