Haha - on HN we literally have folks saying that a cookie popup / banner is a GDPR violation, and others pointing out the .eu sites that do exactly that (govt run!).
So yes - the GDPR is confusing as hell!
You either have to pop up for explicit consent or are not supposed to yadda yadda.
The average user is relatively sick of the GDPR I think that this point.
- throwaway525142 5y agoCan you point out a link to comments that contradict each other? AFAIK, you can use cookie banners, but opting in has to be as easy as opting out. The .eu sites do that.
- slownews45 5y agoSure - it's a common view that the banners are a GDPR violation or not required. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28134437 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28134437
- WesolyKubeczek 5y agoHow they say it on HN... It's pointless to expect someone to understand something if their pay depends on them on understanding it.
