Meanwhile, people started to believe that Google reads their mind and society evolved the way they behave as The Internet transforms the consequences for acts such as chatting or posting things in public (or having certain opinions in public)... I think GDPR same as other laws protecting citizens from The Internet failed to protect the user, even if it was a good first try, to begin with. Hope some standardization will come in the future to prevent all cookies or some HTML tag standard or whatever.
- dcbadacd 7y agoWe have the Do-Not-Track header that should be interpreted as a denial to all cookie notices and GDPR requests but they didn't write that into the law.
- anoncake 7y agoThe ePrivacy regulation is supposed to introduce something like like that. Passing it would require the consent of Austria or, of course, a sensible political system for the EU.
- nudpiedo 7y agoexactly, that's what I mean: it cannot be part of a law... but such standard must exist and be enforced by the browser, same as window.alert is a browser pop up and not a javascript one. The cookie rejection should do it in the same way. Laws like GDPR are encountering problems to be enforced without being too intrusive with the technology and the freedom to create products/standards.
