> That would not respect the GDPR law. The point is to require consent. This is something that sounds good in theory, but in practice may be counterintuitively a bad solution that makes people less safe when you take into account how UX and human nature works. Most people don't read these forms. You're training people to instinctively click on any clickable buttons they see on page load to make the annoying banners go away as fast as possible. It's much easier for shady characters to get people to give up some permission that actually matters in this environment or agree to something awful that might actually harm them. This is doubly a problem on mobile, where the limited screen size means that you can't see anything unless you click on the shiny banner button. > And as an user you should be annoyed and seek websites that respect you better. To me, real respect means not wasting my time doing busy performative theater. However people choose to deal with cookies is a problem that should be handled on the browser level, not with every website trying to write their own explanation and have some cookie management consent form.
