Why Citationsy.com Doesn’t Have a Cookie Notice
- JohnFen 7y agoGreat job, Citationsy! That's how you do it.

- denni9th 7y agoThank you for not using the cookie notice! This is clearly a better way of following this law, and probably what the EU intended when they created it. Cookie notices have become a massive pain on the Internet. What really annoys me is that these notices are on websites that don't even serve the EU. The other day I was browsing the website for a local (non-EU) cellphone company, on a local TLD, from an IP address registered to a local ISP, and I still had to accept this meaningless popup.
- salmo 7y agoWell the law applies to all EU citizens, at home or abroad, in one of the weirdest jurisdiction overreaches I’ve ever seen. So the company could have one or more EU citizen customers who even live in the US. But I clearly like the one cookie for sessions approach better, and most of these alerts don’t actually fulfill the requirements anyway.
- juped 7y agoEven if cookie notices did constitute some kind of consent (pretty debatable) they would be a dark pattern that should be banned in the public interest anyway (like, while I'm on the topic, infinite-scrolling slot machine pseudo-"timelines").
