The cookie pop-up is an example of EU overeach. Doesn’t help privacy, doesn’t UI, and now everyone is just dismissing them.
- gpderetta 9y agoOne of the reasons GDPR was enacted is because the cookie law wasn't taken seriously. Companies used technical means (removing any meaningful opt out) to render the law moot in practice; as the industry failed to self regulate, the EU took the nuclear option.
- weddpros 9y agoI truly believe GDPR will have a similar impact as cookie pop-ups: extravagant annoyance for 0 benefit.
