> What I would like to see browsers do is grow a feature that tells web servers what uses of my data I consider acceptable, so that I don't have to waste my time every time I visit nearly every site on the entire damn Internet. cookies are local storage. cookie prompts are you telling the server how you'd like it to instruct your client to behave. it's so weirdly roundabout: if EU wanted this regulated why didn't they just tell browser vendors that they need to implement cookie control as a 1st-party feature?
