GDPR madness is eating every publisher‘s brain...

  Yeah, meanwhile the actual user friendly solution is simple. Make the no-tracking no-bullshit version the default one, and add an opt-in somewhere, maybe in a banner at the top.

    Something like "on average we receive 2 cents from your visit because we take your personal data and sell it to the highest bidder. Either accept these 362 cookies, or click here to pay us 2 cents".

      Maybe they could lure you with more content or something. GDPR states that people must opt-in into tracking, but you can still refuse to show them stuff if they don't. The current implementations seem like the pages want people to hate the EU: "look at what those suits made us do to our previously simple and beautiful page"

        It just makes me hate the page. Well not hate, just "dismiss" the page. This site has none of these requirements, and just goes to show it's not required. If I load this link in lynx from a machine in the US, I don't even have to reject any cookies, thus proving they don't need any cookies to serve their content.
