This is false. The GDPR does not mandate privacy - the GDPR mandates the protection of certain kinds of personal data, much of which (e.g. IP addresses) has legitimate reasons for being collected (e.g. abuse protection). Claiming that every business that shows a cookie warning is trying to violate your privacy is not only objectively false, but extremely intellectually dishonest - although that's about par for the course for GDPR enthusiast zealots.

- throw10920 3y agoI was referring to normal GDPR banners, not cookie banners. I didn't say anything about cookie banners in my comment. I'm not sure there's even much of a distinction, and my point holds anyway, because their are legitimate uses of cookies that non-privacy-violating businesses use.
