A two-panel comic parodying internet privacy consent prompts as dating dealbreakers. Panel 1: A red-haired woman, furious, points and shouts at a man on what is implied to be a date: "How DARE you?! This is a first date! A first date! Do you think I have no self respect?!" Panel 2, captioned "EARLIER...": The same man, sitting calmly at a table holding a drink, asks the woman: "Will you agree to unblock my cookies?" The joke treats a website's request to unblock browser cookies as an outrageously inappropriate thing to ask early in a relationship. Votey (bonus panel): A large speech bubble from an unseen speaker asks: "Can I track your location to recommend products and services?", extending the gag to location-tracking consent prompts.
