It is not convenient to block the cookies and I assume you really don't as you're logged in here.
I do. Dev.to obviously needs cookies for many of the features I want to use (not if I just wanted to anonymously read articles, mind you), so I have them enabled on this site.
Just to clarify that, the resources are maximum 5Mb per site on local storage
Size is mostly inconsequential to me. I'm generally opposed to running any code or saving any data on a user's device that doesn't directly further their goals when interacting with a website (or can at least be reasonably assumed to). In the case of clicking a portfolio, nothing I could ever want from that website requires storing information.
On the other hand, there are people out there creating good content in websites, forums and even youtube channels that deserve the few cents an ad in our screen can give them so we can enjoy the content while they can keep doing that for a living, thus I'd rather avoid blocking this kind of ads.
Not that this is relevant to a portfolio website, but no, people do not have the right to earn money by causing harm to others. Even less insisting on monetising content in such a way.
My site, my rules.
Yes, you are free to publish a broken site, and if you're just offering it for the benefit of others, then it's up to whoever is annoyed enough to just make a pull request and put in the effort. That doesn't mean it's not a flaw worth pointing out.
you'll eventually enable the cookies again 😂
Nah. I've been using the internet like this for ages now, and so far I haven't looked back once after closing a website that didn't respect my decisions about my own hardware.
