Because Google is deprecating cookies soon, we should remove our setting of cookies. All our cookie setting is third party cookies so all setting of cookies should be removed. This may also align with issues connected to #441.

This is a long-term issue. Possibly, the end of the year is a target period.

It is dawning on me that we probably need to do a slightly more comprehensive OptMeowt revision. For the time being, we can treat this issue as an omnibus issue and collect the various parts to revise. Starting in, say, September of this year strikes me as good timing.

Here is what currently comes to mind:

Overall, this revision should make OptMeowt faster and less prone to break.
