Wow, if things are that formal now, perhaps European users should send GDPR requests. How about full-screen cookie acceptance prompts?

- ffpip 6y agoI don't think there is any third party tracking on HN
- m11a 6y agoThe cookie accept prompts are a misunderstanding of EU law anyway. Supervisory authorities vary in their interpretation, and some take a relaxed view towards it and see the issues in that crap from a UX perspective (they say so on their sites). I've no idea why sites choose to add them in anyway, seems lazy and unambitious.
- smichel17 6y agoSeconded. Ycombinator is fine here, in my not-lawyer opinion -- as far as I've noticed (as someone who blocks first party cookies by default with uMatrix), they set only a single cookie, when you log in. I checked just now and it has only two pieces of data: your username, and what looks like a signature for validating it.
