I don't know about privacy, but it certainly increased the amount of popups I have to click through daily. Thanks, wise European bureaucrats.

  Blame the content providers who are unnecessarily tracking you, and not the legislators that force them to now tell you.

    Do you really think people on HN are scared of cookies? Ha. Save it for the CNN comments pages ok. edit: If you're not worried about the cookies then can you take the requirement for state mandated popups on any site that uses cookies out of the GDPR, thanks. edit 2: (due to being throttled for wrongthink) According to the GDPR website to comply you must "Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies." How do you suggest websites get users consent other than popups? I'm sure everyone who is sicking of clicking through them and everyone who is sick of implementing them would love to hear about it. Why don't you "Show HN"?

      It's not the cookies we're concerned about.

      There is no mandate for pop ups on any site. Blame the content providers who are doing it wrong.
