Offtopic: Are we going to get these cookie warnings until the end of time?
- xwdv 7y agoUnlikely, eventually people will stop putting them up when it’s widely believed the laws have no teeth.
- saagarjha 7y agoOr when they stop actually using tracking cookies.
- CamperBob2 7y agoYou're supposed to issue the warning even if you don't use tracking cookies, aren't you? My understanding is that any persistent storage at all is enough to trigger the requirement.
- phkahler 7y ago>> My understanding is that any persistent storage at all is enough to trigger the requirement. Does that include logging an IP address?
- BlueTemplar 7y agoIPs are considered personal information, so, yes ?
- antoineMoPa 7y agoI've read that if cookies are stickly required for your app to work (e.g. keeping a login session), there is no need for the popup (Until you start adding tracking).
- saagarjha 7y agoRight. Many people who put up those notices don’t need them, and in doing so unfortunately sour public perception for the law. It’s actually not as stupidly written as people think it is.
