Nobody reads them. They either completely ignore them like me, or search for the "get the fuck out of my way and let me do the thing I came here to do" button.

Then don't do that on a government website! Why should I have to consent to that shit when visiting my government's websites? I don't want to use Twitter or YouTube and participating in government shouldn't force me to! WTF?
- tinus_hn 5y agoWell it’s your lucky day! If you refuse these cookies you don’t get that content, that’s the whole point.
- Doxin 5y agoExcept that refusing to serve people who reject cookies is explicitly not allowed by the GDPR. You cannot make tracking a requirement for using your site.
- thewebcount 5y agoExcept that many of the "deny consent" buttons I'm told either don't work or are intentionally made to slow you down. Again, not fair on a government site. Also, they all work by placing a cookie in your browser. If the whole point is that you don't want to be tracked by tracking cookies, then the solution, of "OK, we'll place this cookie to tell us not to track you using cookies" defeats the point. Once the cookies is on your computer, you can't really tell who's using it for what. They can just say it's not a tracking cookie, but still use it as one. The whole scheme is ludicrous.
