I naively assumed from the headline that the author would complain about users blocking cookies. I was very pleasantly surprised to see a post written by someone who appreciates that some users will want to do this and is actively working to support delivering them a useful content experience!

I assumed the same thing and was indeed happy when it turned out to be the better thing.

As someone working on a ticketing purchase flow, this is critical... can't exactly just turn people away! I was also surprised about localstorage throwing exceptions.

Given that many cookie banners still (IMHO illegally, to be verified by courts) give the choices "accept tracking or fuck off" I guess you could. But it behoves you that you would assume it's a stupid idea. :)

I wasn't even using localstorage for tracking, it was for functionality.
