I didn't understand your comment.
1) Do you think cookie notifications are a bad thing ?
2) Do you think it is web bureaucracy ? If so, laws protecting every european citizen with digital neutrality are also bureaucratic ?

- johansch 9y agoI don't even know where to begin with this one. I guess it's hilarious that we have found a defender of the incredibly stupid EU cookie notification law on an actual tech forum. Or maybe just sad. One of the two. It's unique though!
- pluma 9y agoThe implementation is bad. The intentions were good. The point of cookie notifications was to make users aware of tracking cookies (i.e. the kind used by Facebook, Google and other advertisers to follow you across the sites you visit) and ultimately require user consent. Sadly the actual law ended up far less nuanced and the way people implemented it completely bypasses the original intent (mostly because website owners and lawyers don't care about the distinction or don't understand it).
- tortasaur 9y agoThere's a difference between protecting citizens and overloading them with meaningless warnings that just end up desensitizing them.
- Noseshine 9y agoIndeed. Fortunately there is a filter-list [0] for my ad blocker with the sole purpose of blocking these EU cookie warnings :-) [0] List homepage: http://prebake.eu/ http://prebake.eu/
