> There's nothing in any of the relevant EU laws... Sure, my pet peeve is not that THERE IS something in EU law that makes these banners so annoying. My issue is that THERE ISN'T anything in the EU law that specifically prescribes HOW it should be handled so that it's not such an absolute fecking annoyance. As I said, I think they should revise the law so that it specifically states that the cookie options must be a browser option and websites MUST respect that preference, and that the browser preference trumps anything else which a user might have consented elsewhere, rendering attempts to workaround it as useless.
