What we really need is to require reasonable Web Browser standards that do not allow for this nonsense.
Yes, I know that some would say that Cookies are used on a website to improve the experience of the user. Keep records of what product we looked at that we might want to look back at. And some other things.

Long ago in the US we had a highway system that was being littered with signs. Made our roads ugly. Was costing businesses a lot of money. If one wanted to have a successful hamburger stand one needed to pay for dozens of signs. Then we had lighted signs. Flashing bulbs in synchrony.
We passed a law against these kinds of signs. Since all Businesses had the same standard, it was better for them not to have to pay for all those signs.
By allowing the advertisers to make the rules we have these problems.
Malware enters computers through this constant requirement of advertisers to have flashier cooler graphics.
Let me guess, there are only a few very ineffectual organizations that complain to Congress. Congress backs the rich, their wealth building tools, Corporations. Corporations end up backing those who want to install malware onto my computer.
