Dotan, I'm dropping into this thread after all that drama. I'm upset that you were insulted like that. That was unnecessary.
Anyway, if you feel the need to implement a cookie pop-up to feel safe, I get it.
The GDPR is really meant to protect users' rights to control their own data. If you implement that single principle in good faith, there won't be any gotcha moments where the EU cyber police fines you over some obscure clause in 50 thousand words of legalese.
It's really the people who ignore or circumvent that principle who will be crushed.
In my opinion, you will be serving your clients better if you take the time to understand the GDPR rather than annoying your client's users by cargo-culting UX from companies that are skirting or ignoring the law.
If you do want to cargo-cult anyway, you could do worse than to crib from the EU website itself. Just saying.

- dotancohen 5y agoThanks, but I don't mind the insult. Quite the opposite, I do think that those who display an inability or unwillingness to learn should be shunned from the profession. I should have invested the time to write a response that clarified my position that legal compliance should be taken liberally, rather than just declaring that I don't understand law. For what it's worth, I completely agree with the spirit of the GDPR and don't really have an issue with the implementation - it's far better than not having it.
