this is an eternal problem with blocking. I think you have an interesting solution

I was curious how Medium keep track of how many times I viewed an article Later, I found out that Medium uses a combination of cookies and local storage to track your read count. What surprised me was the amount of information that was stored in my cookie. I started looking at other sites, and I felt uncomfortable with the types/amount of information captured. So I decided to use Safari's incognito mode all the time. But that forced me to login all the time to my favorite websites. This became really inconvenient. I love cookies but at the same time have a fear of them. Cookie blocker Safari Extension is how I decide to approach my predicament. By allowing me to control which sites can save to cookies/localstorage.
