A few times recently, while using Debian unstable with KDE on Wayland, browsing with Firefox Nightly, I've had a pop-up come up in the "System
Tray" area that starts out with "A few settings are required to be able
to use certain functions. This controls whether a service is allowed to
set cookies or not."

The box gives no indication of what generated this message, except that
it was "Realized through Klaro". When I click on the "Go to Cookies
Settings" button, I get taken to another anonymous box with a bunch of settings. I didn't pay attention to what those settings are, because,
being wary of anonymous pop-ups and their shenanigans, I just closed the pop-ups, assuming they were some sort of scammer attempt from some
web-page I had hit.

If this is a legit pop-up, it REALLY needs to identify who it's from.
I'm not about to start giving permissions based on some rando pop-up.

Anyone who can shed light on this? Thanks!

But as Kent said, if its going to produce popups it really, really needs
to announce itself properly including a link to some docs that are
written from the point of view of a user rather than the point of view
of a website developer! :(

It'll totally fail on my system (I hope), anyway, since I ban popups!
