And yet, these cookie banners appeared after the law was passed. We all know why. It's because of the law, and because the law forces companies to react a certain way in order to avoid legal trouble.
- Jochim 5y agoI mean they could have also chosen to just stop tracking people. Getting annoyed at the fact that sites are now forced to make you aware that they're building up a profile of you seems a bit odd.
- kaba0 5y agoGithub doesn’t have any popups interestingly, as well as a litany of other sane websites. Just because most of them are trashy and want to track you, it is not the fault of the EU. It is annoying but at least you know what’s ahead of you.
- baby 5y ago2 websites out of thousands don’t have these popups. Great browsing experience.
- kuschku 5y agoIs it better to just give up and let companies do whatever they want, including all harmful negatives? How do you suppose should making tracking illegal be done then?
- baby 5y agoI honestly don’t think it’s an issue. If people are paranoid they can control their cookies via their browsers. Getting targeted advertising is a good thing not a bad thing to me (just my opinion).
- kuschku 5y agoHow do I disable fingerprinting via my browser's cookie settings? How do I disable other tracking technologies? GDPR applies to all tracking, not just cookies. My browser's settings don't, and can't.
- shawabawa3 5y ago> the law forces companies to react a certain way in order to avoid legal trouble. The vast majority of cookie popups are illegal. Hopefully the EU will continue enforcing until people actually either implement them legally or realise the tracking isn't worth the cost
- amcoastal 5y agoYour attitude is why we can't have nice things. The solutions is to close the loopholes, not throw out the baby with the bathwater.
