packages.debian.org wants cookies now ?!

[Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>]

I tried to look something up on packages.debian.org and I got an error
page saying I needed to enable JS.  Then after I had enabled JS (which
I normally have disabled) I got an error page from Fastly saying I
needed to enable cookies.

I tried in a private browsing tab and it loaded the page.  Evidently
it has stored a cookie (but I'm not sure where in the firefox UI they
have hidden this information).  I can't seem to find any information
about what these cookies are for.

I think this is undesriable, unreasonable, and probably illegal in the
European Economic Area.

I know we're all being hammered by llm criminals but I don't think
this is the answer.

Ian.
