It's currently still there on the blog site because I was worried that HN would smash my server and haven't moved it over to BunnyCDN yet ^^

I wish you luck on your move -- I love to see people dropping Cloudflare's MITM service that mistreats Tor users (among others).

FYI a site owner can whitelist Tor as a "country" to stop mistreatment of Tor users. Of course, hardly anyone that uses Cloudflare does that.

I wish cloudfare could allow removing this cookie. I'm willing to pay for that feature.

That cookie can be disabled on Cloudflare's Enterprise plan [0] (which, to be fair, starts at like $60k a year).

The enterprise plan is a very custom plan - if you only need access to one or two features and/or only have a few million requests a month, the price can be pretty cheap (much less than the 5k/mo price advertised on the CF dashboard), but if you want mission-critical features like bot management[0], access to China datacenters[1], etc. it definitely can get into the 6-figure range - and they do have over 550 customers paying 6 figures or more [2].

But just getting one to remove the cookie is probably not worth it since it will end up costing more than a business plan (200/mo) regardless.

I think you can negotiate with them if you only need some enterprise features.

It's funny that you have to pay more in order to have less.

Cloudflare, if you are listening: Just give us an option to disable this cookie. Thanks!

Alright. I can budget 100€ per year so I will keep the cookie.

How would they know that you're you without the cookie?

I wasn't thinking as a visitor, but as a website owner who use cloudfare.
