If this was a browser thing and not mandated by law, sites would just intentionally make their sites break if your browser didn't accept cookies and then tell you that you have to accept the cookie to make the site work.
- saagarjha 6y ago…and this is exactly what they used to do, so this isn't even a hypothetical.
- ukyrgf 6y agoThe only difference between this and the web ~15 years ago is that they didn't even tell you it was a cookie issue. If you couldn't access the site, then "uhh try using Internet Explorer?"
- elric 6y agoHad this been implemented 15 years ago, people's awareness might have grown and they might have decided to not visit sites that are obviously broken. Many sites only worked properly in IE for ages. Other browsers reaching critical mass forced the issue, and the web became better for it. You're probably right that it won't be happening now..the cat's out of the bag.
