If you find that as annoying to you as it sounds to me, then if you really do want to accept all cookies, try $ lynx -accept-all-cookies 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)#Syntax' If you don't want any cookies, then try $ lynx -cookies 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)#Syntax' -- You SAY you've got nothing to hide.
