GDPR notices are obnoxious, but they are not the only source of popups, not even the most annoying (most of them are converging to standard patterns, so you can dismiss them quickly). These days many sites have a constant barrage of all kind of popups, browser notifications requests, registration nags, adverts and so on, often on a delayed trigger.
- adhesive_wombat 4y ago> GDPR notices are obnoxious, They're not obnoxious because GDPR made them that way, they're obnoxious because companies who think they have a right to unfettered and undisclosed abuse of people's data (because that's what they were used to) are trying to pretend that the law is the problem and not their malfeasance. A fully compliant GDPR banner has two buttons, of equal prominence: reject all, and accept all. That's it. Any obnoxiousness is on thy implementor, and it's likely illegal. Another fully compliant solution is to only collect the data you actual need and then you don't even need a banner at all.
