You would prefer the cookie embedded in url?


I would prefer web developers not track me at all without a good reason and consent. Yes, I also block JS on a per-site basis, use an ad / tracking blocker, and block all third party cookies entirely.

I'm not naive - I know that it is possible to track me using other server-side tools even with all this effort, but on the other hand I'm easily in the 0.1% most difficult users to track, which means a lot of web devs are going to use the easy approaches that work for 99% of users and leave me alone. That's a worthwhile trade to make, for me.


FWIW with these systems you can proactively ask a new challenge as often as you want or even use many tokens simultaneously.
