My "dysfunctional product design process" alarm is going off.
The idea of implementing an annoying popup to support something you _might_ do in the future for any reason is madness.
And do they not realize that user credentials are a huge liability? Why would you want to support anything related to user identity if you don't need to.
- reaperducer 6y agoMy "dysfunctional product design process" alarm is going off. Very few companies are large enough to have a "product design process." In situations like this, it's usually some paper-pusher saw it on his favorite web site and thinks it should be on the company's, too. Middle managers gotta middle manage.

- mewpmewp2 6y agoI don't think it is irrational ot madness at all. Imagine having to switch developers and then you ask for analytics from your new developer. Very easy to happen that they could forget about the cookie banner. I would go as far as to say it is wise to deal with it once and for all. Especially since implementing the banner takes such short amount of time. Worrying about it will waste many times more brain cycles and once again there is always a chance someone forgets about it in the future and legal worries will be infinitely more costly.
