        Only way to opt out of cookies on The Verge? Disable them in your browser! 🤯 Also, where it says ”Please see the links below for guidance…” those are not links! This is much, much worse than the example in their article. voxmedia.com/legal/cookie-policy#your-cookie-choices-and-how-to-opt-out
