> Yes, I can't fathom why the hate is on the law, and not the companies now being exposed by the law.. Seriously, if you don't do shady shit your site doesn't need a popup asking for consent. What problem do you believe is being solved by the popup? The idea that it will get consumers to boycott garbage websites and internet services (read: the vast majority) is wishful thinking. Consumers do not care in the slightest and just want to be cool and fit in and use the same thing as everyone else. Anyone who is tunnel visioned on web privacy (which doesn't and will never exist, due to how webcrap is built) will go to the bottom of the page and click "privacy policy". Websites shouldn't have means of collecting data about you at all in the first place. Banking and shopping should be done with software instead of insecure web scripts. Yes smaller steps can be taken but there is such thing as too small. EDIT: Oh I think you're saying that the popup is indeed redundant because your website shouldn't have it because if it does your website is crap. I agree, but I don't agree with the law since I still use those websites regarldess of how trash they are and all the popup does is make it more annoying.
