I really wish more people would implement cookie notices like theirs. I really like the one that https://www.bosch.us/ https://www.bosch.us/ uses too.

Are there really people who appreciate these redundant notices? Do you need a notice that a website uses TCP/IP too?

  If you have a site I want to know if you track me or you include third party code that tracks me, I don't care how you do it , inform me and I will decide if I accept or leave.

  The thing is, TCP/IP is necessary to deliver the website. From a user's point of view, a huge majority of the websites have no reason to set a cookie. Anything where I don't login, just read some news, read some blog entries, inform myself about some products, or similar doesn't actually need cookies. It's just that in recent years the operators of the website have decided they'd like to track and/or analyze their users (best case), or even send that data of to some 3rd party ad network. So I appreciate the heads-up. (Not that it matters, I delete the cookies anyway when I leave the site.)

  Nobody wants the notice, but if it's going to be required by law it could at least be useful.

  I find these GDPR notices useful. Obviously every website use cookies, but it's nice to know what these cookies actually do. I've already encountered a few news websites listing 100+ advertising/targeting companies whose cookies they use. That was quite eye-opening. I also appreciate all the GDPR emails that landed in my email box recently. I've replied to about every second of them asking for my account/data to be erased.

      I can confirm from personal experience. And all of these have to be unchecked separately, there is no deactivate all button. It's completely ridiculous. Oh and your selection isn't restored once you leave the dialog and immediately come back. I know sites have an interest in persuading you to let them share your data, but some of these dark patterns are indistinguishable from black.

  It's not the notice itself, because that's required by law. It's the fact that it actually gives you information and control beyond "we use cookies, if you don't like it, leave".

  When implemented correctly, GDPR notices also give you an option to opt out of targeted ads, something many websites didn't have before, so yeah.

  My first instinct upon seeing that intrusive popup was to invoke the element hider from uBlock and nuke it. I don't want to see that noise on this or any other website. Get out of my way and fuck off with the legalese. I'm browsing, I haven't signed any contract, get out of my face.

IMO that should be opt-in, not opt-out.

they're just using cookiebot.com. It's a paid service so might be out of reach for some sites, but it seems affordable and is quite slick. Love that every cookie gets its own explanation.
