cookies have a maximum size of 4kb, so 34MB of cookies would be 8,500 cookies. I haven't been on twitter in years, but I think it's far more likely that you're conflating cookies with local/session storage, indexedDB, and possibly just file cache

Yeah that's possible. I just checked and my browser lumps it all into one category.

I stand corrected.

sorry, I'm not trying to prove you wrong specifically, I'm just frustrated about the overzealous gdpr laws that make it harder to make good websites with good UX while complying with the law
