> GDPR is not EU Cookie Law (which actually was badly designed law, unlike GDPR)
everyone that has ever written code to set a cookie predicted what the industry response to that cookie legislation would be, but even that trivial foresight was beyond the EU's abilities
if they can't write a good law for something trivial like cookies why would you have any confidence in their abilities to produce a much larger, wider reaching piece of legislation, let alone the ability to predict the second order effects?
- jacquesm 9y agoDid you know that functional cookies are exempt from the cookie law?
- freeone3000 9y agoWhat's a functional cookie? What makes it separate from an essential cookie? What, exactly, links it to a user? Knowing that certain types of cookies is exempt is insufficient knowledge.
- GlitchMr 9y agoThey are, but the failure of a law is that people did not know that, and just put cookie warnings to be safe, and in the end all websites had cookie warnings making the entire thing pointless.
- TheCoelacanth 9y agoIs there no possibility that they might actually learn from the failures of the cookie law and use than knowledge to write a better law this time?
