I don't. The only thing I do is accept essential cookies. Ads and tracking are blocked, I use a VPN and if I really need to, i.e. with a web shop, I use an e-mail alias created for said web shop.

I try to keep control over my persona data as much as possible.

I know how it works (or rather doesn't), I know the principles, I know the ramifications. I know all of that.

Having said that, my brain just can't deal with this level of bullshittery, and I'd rather verify a source than have to deal with multitudes of this every single search.

A site that wants to tell us something will.
Often it'll be something we want to know.
Sites that don't do that will usually not be doing that.

I'm older and to calm down a bit, I'm watching Hallmark. $80/yr for HM is too much. An ad ran on at least two of HM websites for $39/yr. Tried finding rules; bupkis or I needed stronger glasses. Emailed them about offer (signed in but no option). Rep said it's a 3rd party ad and Hallmark doesn't accept them. I said it's on their websites. Tech - HM allows that. My response: HM is scamming people for a click.

I want to go to bed for 100 yrs.
