I see very little advantages from these privacy laws but I use and appreciate US businesses every day.
- aksss 5y agoWhat, you don't appreciate a pop-up on every web page telling you that cookies are going to be used? XD
- lillecarl 5y agoThe cookie banners are a byproduct of companies still wanting to abuse your data, when was the last time you saw a cookie pop-up on HN? Logged in or not.
- VikingCoder 5y agoIf only there were some way that European citizens could have told their browsers to not accept Cookies, then maybe we all wouldn't have to click on those banners all the damn time.

- nickpp 5y agoThey are definitely serving consumers, otherwise they would cease existing. They're not serving politicians and their pet cause of the day though.
