In some cases, even the opposite. I used to use self-destructing cookies but stopped after so many websites required using cookies to stop showing that message. I know there are extensions for removing those, but the point is that they made more difficult to avoid what they wanted to avoid in the first place.

- DiThi 9y agoIn most cases, when you delete cookies, localStorage is deleted as well.
- codingmyway 9y agoMakes me think that laws like this should be more like programming (for humans) and easily reverted when they are found to cause bugs in behavior but somehow laws have to be fixed with new bills on top of the old. The law books are the biggest bunch of out of date legacy code that nobody understands apart from a few overpaid experts and is in need of a massive refactoring.
