Serious question: is it the same law that requires websites to give a cookie pop up?
Because I let users know I'm not going to spam them with that shit at those that enacted that law can go to hell for every site I visit having it. It's a good thing but really annoying. There has to be a better, more interesting way.
- L0stRegulator 7y agoThey are different but well related 'laws'. The 'Cookie Law' is the 2011 ePrivacy Directive. it will be replaced by the ePrivacy Regulation (eventually). https://www.cookielaw.org/the-cookie-law/ https://www.cookielaw.org/the-cookie-law/ The modern privacy law is GDPR, which came in in 2018. Pre-dating that were the somewhat country-specific interpretations of the 1995 Data Protection Directive.
- privateSFacct 7y agoAgreed - especially on mobile a full page thing I have to click through to accept the cookies?? If I didn't want cookies I'd just block them and see how web worked - this should be browser setting, not a required click through on every website. Your browser controls your cookies - use that, clear them, do whatever you want.
