Has any web site been fined for not displaying the cookie notice?
- tirpen 7y agoOf course not. There is no law requiring cookie notice popups, there never was.
- fyfy18 7y agoThat's not true. It is law in the EU and companies have been fined: https://www.cookielaw.org/blog/2014/2/5/spanish-cookie-law-fines/ https://www.cookielaw.org/blog/2014/2/5/spanish-cookie-law-f...
- matthewmacleod 7y agoIt is exactly true. Companies have been fined for not complying with law. Law does not require a “warning” of the sort being discussed.
- akvadrako 7y agoThere was before gpdr. I think it’s obsolete now.
- tirpen 7y agoNo, storing cookies needed to make your site work was always needed. Sending tracking information to third parties required a notice of some kind, no matter if it was in the form of cookies or some other mechanism. So, no there was never a EU cookie law, it was just a major FUD operation and a lot of people put up completely unneccessary cookie consent popups without understanding why.
- schpaencoder 7y agoIt’s enough that your site respect the cookie settings of the browser, which they all do as far as I know. So the warnings are not needed.
