That's one thing I like with GDPR. It has to be informed consent for a lot of cases. Can't hide it and say you agreed to whatever in a hidden EULA.

- RL_Quine 7y agoThe cookie warnings mostly end up being meaningless “WE NEED COOKIES TO WORK CLICK OK” on every website.
- antisemiotic 7y ago... and then the site proceeds to work just fine with cookies blocked.
- netsharc 7y agoIn my experience it's become that or "Open these sections and select 'No' on every item, meaning it'll be 20 more clicks before you can see the content of this page"
- tjoff 7y agoThat is not compliant with GDPR anyway. Appreciate that you now know they absolutely despise their users and take action by never using that site again.
- tjoff 7y agoThe cookie warnings are not about GDPR.
- Quanttek 7y agoThe cookie warnings are not a consequence of the GDPR (remember they've been there before) and also only need to be done when you have non-essential cookies on your site (i.e. tracking, ads)
- TeMPOraL 7y agoYup. And since they can't legally do much to infringe on my privacy without asking for my explicit, informed consent, I can safely ignore most TOS updates, safe in the knowledge that if they hide some privacy-abusing bits in the TOS, then they have a problem.
