Today something happened for the first time.
I clicked on another CNN.com article and got a pop up saying I've reached my limit of free articles, and must sign up and give CNN my email address, free, but I must sign up.
But then CNN will track my activity, store them, and sell them to the monster, and make money doing it.
(I didn't bother reading CNN's membership terms and conditions ... I'm old already and I'd probably die of old age if I spend 17 years reading it with my electron microscope.)
Yes, I realize CNN has salaries to pay, but I'm already helping to pay those by seeing CNN's advertising, which can be a 30 second ad in order to watch every news video, which are often shorting than the ad I had to watch (ignore).
Nope I'm not gonna drop my drawers and allow yet another business have their way with me and spy to sell my info.
So I did a search, and found the solution is to just clear my browser cookies.
FWIW I'm on an iMac desktop, and Safari is my browser, but Duck Duck Go is my search engine.
It worked.
