Plagued Europeans? Are they seeing additional consent pop ups beyond the ones all the rest of us are tortured with?
- Rygian 5y agoNo, we're probably seeing the same as you.
- inetknght 5y agoWithout knowing what country you're in, I suggest that your comment indicates that Europe has more strict laws about tracking than your own country.
- marcus_holmes 5y agoAs we're discovering: plagues are universal
- ryukafalz 5y agoIf you live in the US as I do: yes, they are. I traveled to Germany and Belgium shortly before COVID, and the pop-ups were everywhere, even on sites that I know didn't have them back home. Anyway, I'd prefer if we had privacy laws like this in the US too.
- pseingatl 5y agoCalifornia does. There is no comparable federal legislation. No other State comes close to California.
- DominikPeters 5y agoYes, there are more popups when in Europe and they're often a lot bigger. You'll see it if you use a VPN to a server in Europe.
- vanviegen 5y agoI'm under the impression that some sites have created an especially annoying cookie wall for the EU, while serving their baseline annoying cookie wall to the rest of the world. Most of the sites can't be bother to make the distinction though.
