Okay, this is completely tangential to the article, but I see this footer on the website: "We are using cookies to improve your experience of our site. By clicking ‘Agree’ or ignoring the banner, you are assenting to our use of cookies." I don't really care, but is this strictly speaking legal? "If you don't read this, you agree to it"? If I read it, am I "ignoring the banner"? Usually if you don't agree, they are supposed to not store cookies and ask every time, which is something I'm actually OK with.
