>From a UX perspective I think your proposal makes sense, Baku. I feel that having a user manually reload each individual tab they have open is too much to ask. I spoke with Bryan Bell and we share Ehsan thinking. If a user changes preferences that affect the cookie policy they get an extra box that appears and explains they need to reload tabs in order for the new policy to apply. Did a quick mock up to show what this might look like (note the mock isn't final and the copy hasn't been reviewed) Mock can be found here: https://cl.ly/7b6cc1e85e36 Also, instead of reloading the tabs we can restart their browser as Ehsan mentioned. We'll just have to be careful and explain that all their tabs will be reopened. Is one way more performant than the other?
