Cookie time: Website Cookie Consent Meme

This is a single-panel reaction meme. At the top, black text on a white background reads 'When you open any website'. Below the text, a blurry shot shows popular internet meme figure Ricardo Milos, a muscular man wearing a red headband, leaning towards the viewer with a smug, suggestive smirk, holding a chocolate chip cookie out directly to the viewer. The core joke is a pun on the double meaning of the word 'cookie': the physical snack Ricardo is offering, and HTTP website cookies, the data files that nearly all websites force users to consent to storing on their device when first visiting. The overly forward, suggestive energy of Ricardo offering the cookie mimics the annoying, pushy nature of mandatory cookie consent popups that appear unprompted on every website.
