I tried to read the article, but it was obscured by a popup. On my phone, the popup was so big it covered all the words in the first paragraph, so I couldn’t tell id I wanted to read the whole article.
Thanks for the summary. Thanks for doing the work to get past the popup.
I’m really glad GDPR has given people (in the EU) rights and powers over data about them. I’m SO disappointed that even design blogs have decided that analytics cookies are more important to them than usability of their site.
