Yes my cousin's pet ferret's website desperately needs the burden of a GDPR-compliant Cookie Consent Notice. It has made European online web presence so burdensome.

Your cousin's pet ferret's website likely has absolutely no business setting anything related to cookies in the first place. So.. yeah.

  Cookies are used for things as simple as nighttime color theme preference. Someone more knowledgeable than either of us will probably point out that GDPR doesn't care about cookies like that...

    Actually I'm betting on the more knowledgeable to point out that browsers signal light/dark theme preferences automatically, without cookies. https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries-5/#prefers-color-scheme https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries-5/#prefers-color-schem... https://caniuse.com/?search=prefers-color-scheme https://caniuse.com/?search=prefers-color-scheme

      Yes, that exists, obviously. However, it's perfectly valid for someone to prefer a particular site to override an OS or browser setting.

    Yes, GDPR doesn't care about cookies like that, it starts to apply for personally identifiable cookies (e.g. ad tracking which tries to make unique id's) but not for generic "preference=nighttime" ones.

How about the ferret website doesn't track people.
- stevenjgarner 4y ago
  It doesn't track people in the sense of exploiting their web presence, but it does use cookies to give visitors their own preferences to see all kinds of targeted ferret nonsense. The visitors love that. They don't have to dig through the website to find the content they always want to enjoy.

While GDPR has good points, I think the cookie pop up is not one of them. I've probably clicked the ok button on a few hundred now without really reading any or it making a difference to my life apart from annoyance. I wonder if those have helped anyone anywhere?
