This comment seems a little misinformed. I don’t like the banners either, but you could study a little about the GDPR and what’s been happening. > some feel-good legislation that accomplishes nothing It hasn’t been all 100% positive, and doesn’t apply to everyone, but GDPR has definitely had an overall positive impact on digital privacy practices globally. I say this as founder of a for-profit US web company affected by the legislation. > Nobody has ever been hurt by a tracking cookie in the history of the internet. This is really demonstrably false. Tracking cookies, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies, have been and are still being used to de-anonymize people and cross-correlate browsing behavior of people visiting sites other than the one they’re on. The concern is over privacy, and tracking cookies are a real threat to privacy, hence the legislation.
