- LtWorf 3y agoI could do without js.
- Retr0id 3y agoAs the "cookie consent" debacle showed us, websites won't stop using JS, they'll just bombard you with consent dialogs until you click the button that makes them go away fastest, which is likely the one that involves consenting to run their JS.
- mksybr 3y agoI don't think I've ever seen a cookie consent behave that way, they just make it 1-3 extra clicks to refuse non-essential cookies; which is in violation.
- mrguyorama 3y agoA reminder that the "cookie consent debacle" is intentional. There is no requirement for a popup or any system to ask for your consent to store cookies if you simply do not store unnecessary cookies, and the carve out for "necessary" cookies is huge. Every time you see a popup to approve cookies, it is explicitly so a company can beg you to allow them to track you for free money.
- Retr0id 3y agoRight, this about what websites will do in response to legislation, not what the legislation actually intends for them to do.

- LtWorf 3y agoI'm entirely ok if the punishment for violating the law (most popups violate the law) is to shut down the entire website for 6 months.
- CamperBob2 3y agoThen turn it off.
- Xeamek 3y agoWhy not? GDPR isn't flawless, but im sure happy it exists
- heavyset_go 3y agoPlease, give them more ideas. They're the only regulatory bloc that's willing to protect users from corporate overreach and oligopoly.
