Would you say GDPR and cookie laws were implemented thoughtfully? (not asking if the laws themself are thoughtless)

- rndgermandude 7y agoYes on GDPR, no on cookie laws.
- dmitriid 7y agoGDPR was. Unfortunately there hasn't been any significant follow through yet. Yep. All those dark pattern cookie banners are illegal under GDPR.
- simion314 7y agoThe cookie problem we have is because the sites are actually tracking you m so maybe they should have forced to say "We are tracking you, please accept". Coockies used for actual technical reasons like to store a session ID do not need warnings. GDPR improved on that by forcing the websites to show me what are collecting and with who are sharing the data. I like this transparency, if you want to track me then tell me the details and I will decide if I visit your page or maybe find a different one.
- jimmaswell 7y agoI'd rather be continuously tracked by a thousand websites and volunteer my birthday and location history to them than ever click a cookie or GDPR popup again.
