The EU used the force and threat of law to force everyone who already should have been doing it to do it. A bunch of other people just jumped on the bandwagon.

- yoz-y 6y agoIt's a bit puzzling, why would you add an annoying banner for 'fashion' purposes? It's more work and if you don't believe it's useful (in this case to shield yourself from potential legal trouble) why would you do it?
- Shared404 6y agoThe key part is that many people do believe it's useful when it's not. It's management/legal saying "Oh no, we use cookies! We need a cookie banner!", even though the only cookie used is to track state or some such thing which doesn't fall under GDPR.
- bombcar 6y agoExactly. You "have to have one" even if it is nonsensical or meaningless (a number of these banners are on sites where the ONLY cookie ever recorded is one saying you've seen the banner!).
