> This would be specifically for tracking cookies (“cookie pop-ups”). Those pop-ups are not "specific for tracking cookies". Because the issue, and the law, isn't about "tracking cookies". The issue, and the law, is about user data. So, they will replace the question about cookies with question about localStorage. Then about indexed db. Then about storing data in service workers. Why do you keep focusing on the one issue that is 100% the result of industries actions and pretending it's about the law? > Consent for legitimate reasons is given, for example, when you sign up for an account on a website or conduct some sort of transaction with a business. Again. Even when you sign up for something, for some of the data consent isn't required. And for other data consent is required. I give up. I cannot put it in simpler terms that I already have.

It doesn't matter how they're technically implemented, pop-ups seeking consent for tracking cookies (or their functional equivalent) should be banned. > "Again. Even when you sign up for something, for some of the data consent isn't required. And for other data consent is required." We seem to be agreeing on this, not disagreeing! The ban I'm proposing would apply to user tracking data, and would not affect whether or not consent is required for other data. The fundamental point is that the simple act of visiting a website should not require consent.
