The EU cookies consent law is a prime example of how worthless this is. Easily 99% of sites either don't display this warning, or display it with no "decline" option.
I can think of 2 instances over the past year where I've been able to "do not accept".
I completely agree with the proposed legislation, but it's pointless without consistent, continuous enforcement. They need to be fining sites a small amount UNFAILINGLY across the board. $10 per violation (being unable to show opt-in consent) with no appeals.
Not the trackers (Facebook, Google et Al), but the actual sites (eg. NYT) who've implemented them. They'll drop it REAL QUICK until it's been properly implemented.
But who actually has the budget for enforcement? I don't know the answer to this.
